This week's Hook of the Week from Teach Like a PIRATE by Dave Burgess is The Mime Hook.

How can we use the mesmerizing power of silence to spark interest and engage our learners?

Consider these questions when planning for this hook...

• Can I use nothing but written messages to deliver my lesson or opening hook?
• Can I use mime techniques and gestures to get my point across?
• Can I incorporate charades and/or Pictionary-type activities?
• Can students be asked to get their messages across without words, as well?

Silence is powerful. How might you use the Mime Hook in your upcoming lessons?
