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

How often do we ask, "What's in it for me?"--or think it?! This hook is all about connecting students to the content.

Consider these questions when planning for this hook...

• How can I incorporate the hobbies and outside interests of my students into this material?
• Do I even know the hobbies and outside interests of my students and, if not, how can I find out?
• How can I harness the power of connecting my content to what students are already interested in?

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