  1. The hook is the very first sentence in the essay, and a good one creates a lasting impression with the reader. Mistake: Hello, my name is _____________and today I am going to write about…Studying hard after school is an important part of learning because… WRITING HOOK

  2. TYPES OF HOOKS FOR WRITING AN ESSAY: • Question • Quote • Onomatopoeia • Poem • Song • Interjection • Dialogue • A Simile Or A Metaphor • A Comparison To A Well-known Person or Celebrity • Placing Yourself In The Future

  3. Question • When writing a question, try to create a picture in the reader’s mind. Use the words who, what, when, where, why, is, how, or are at the beginning of the sentence. Example: • Who is the greatest athlete of all times? • Where in the Pacific Ocean can you find a delicious Krabby Patty to eat, live in a pineapple, and drive in an underwater boat? Bikini Bottom, of course! • Where do your girl/boy friend break you up?

  4. Quote When writing a quote, it can be a direct quotation from a book, TV show, movie, or a famous person. Example : • Do you smell that? That smell--It's the smell of a smelly smell that smells smelly," stated Spongebob from the show SpongebobSquarepants. • “Learn to laugh” is something my kindergarten teacher told me after Ralph Thorsen spilled paint on my daffodil picture.

  5. Onomatopoeia Onomatopoeia is a word that makes sounds. Those can be animal sounds, car sounds, or anyother sound. Examples include: Bang! Woof! or Cock-a-doodle-doo! • • "Meooowww!" said Gary, Spongebob's pet snail.

  6. Poem • Use a poem from a famous author, or make up your own. Example: • Roses are red, violets are blue. I love SpongebobSquarepants, do you?

  7. Song • Use a line or two from your favorite song on the radio. Make sure you relate it to your essay. Example: "Are ya ready kids? Aye, aye, Captain. I can't hear you! Aye, aye Captain. Ohhhh!" My favorite TV show started to play on Nickelodeon.

  8. Interjection • Interjections express emotions. Examples are Aha!, Stop!, Ugh!, Help!, Well!, YOW!, Brrrr!, Yummy! Example : • "Noooo!" Don't touch the TV, I am watching my favorite show, Sichan.

  9. Dialogue • Dialogue features two or more people talking. Example: "There's nothing wrong with getting kissys from your grandmother," said Spongebob. "No, especially if you're a big baby who wears diapers!" responded Fish.

  10. A Simile or A Metaphor • My life has been a carnival. • My family is like an open book. • She sat like Patience on a Monument, smiling at Grief. — Twelfth Night William Shakespeare • My love is like a red, red rose. — Robert Burns

  11. A Comparison To A Well-known Person or Celebrity • I am as photogenic as Tyra Banks. • My voice as well as Afgan

  12. Placing Yourself in the Future • In the year 2014 I see myself as a billionaire where I spend my money to build an island Washington, D.C. • The next five years you will see me standing on that stage giving a speech during the Grammy Awards. I am the best actor of that year.
