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

We owe it to students to help them not only be engaged by out content, but to retain, as well.

Consider these questions when planning for this hook...

• Are there key bit of information I want my students to know cold?
• Is there a pattern to point out?
• Can the point of the lesson be tied to previous knowledge?
• Does a mnemonic exist for the material?
• Can I design my own mnemonic to help them remember this material?
• Can the students create their own mnemonic?
• How can I embed a mnemonic theme throughout my presentation to aid retention?
