In this chapter we learn about setting the stage. I have already seen many teachers at our school set the stage for the success of our students!

Interior design hook - transforming your room through lighting, decorations, furniture, etc.

Board message hook - writing a message on the board or projecting an image onto the screen that sparks curiosity, engaging them before the lesson even begins.

Costume hook - accessorizing to enhance the presentation or teaching in character.

Props hook - what physical item can be added to the lesson?

Involved audience hook - involving students and making students feel like they are part of the lesson, not just bystanders.

Mystery bag hook - incorporating a visibly concealed item related to the lesson to build suspense and encourage questioning.
