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

The Backwards Hook

How can you gain an advantage or increase interest by presenting your material out of sequence?

Consider these questions when planning for this hook...

• Can I tell them the end of the story and let them figure out and discover the beginning and the middle?
• Can I show them an end product that will make them want to learn the skills to get there?
• Think of this hook like a TV show that reveal the high-impact scenes first, then the rest of the series is spent figuring it out. That's the backwards hook.

In what ways might you use The Backwards Hook to engage your students or adult learners?
