In this video Heimler talks about how to hook students in the beginning of your lesson. The lesson hook has been talked about and written about ad nauseam, but so much of what passes for a lesson "hook" is not a hook at all. Rather, it's just work done at the beginning of class.

A true lesson hook has to create tension and emotional stakes in the students, and only then will they care about what comes next. If you have hooks that work for you, leave them in the comments so we can learn from each other.
