Student hobby hook - incorporating the hobbies and interests of the students to learn more about them and harness their interest.

Real world application hook - incorporating real-life applications which causes the students to interact with the world in an authentic way.

Life changing lesson hook - delivering an inspirational message or allowing the students opportunity for personal reflection or growth.

Student directed hook - providing differentiated learning opportunities within a unit of study that take into account student choice and voice.

Opportunistic hook - linking pop culture and trends or current events into a lesson.
