• Technology Introduction

Page 24: Technology Semester #2 - Quarter #2 - Week #2 Presentation - Part 1 3-23-2015 to 3-27-2015

Your First Sentence Hook• To get your paper off to a great start, you should try to

have a first sentence that engages your reader.

• Think of your first sentence as a hook that draws your reader in. It is your big chance to be so clever that your reader can’t stop.

• As you researched your topic, you probably discovered many interesting anecdotes, quotes, or trivial facts.

• This is exactly the sort of thing you should use for an engaging introduction!

Page 25: Technology Semester #2 - Quarter #2 - Week #2 Presentation - Part 1 3-23-2015 to 3-27-2015

Consider these ideas for a Strong Hook…

o Surprising (or shocking) fact: The pentagon has twice as many bathrooms as are necessary. The famous government building was constructed in the 1940s, when segregation laws required that separate bathrooms be installed for people of African descent. This building isn’t the only American icon that harkens back to this embarrassing and hurtful time in our history. Across the United States there are many examples of leftover laws and customs that reflect the racism that once permeated American society.

Page 26: Technology Semester #2 - Quarter #2 - Week #2 Presentation - Part 1 3-23-2015 to 3-27-2015

Hook ideas…

o Humor: When my older brother substituted fresh eggs for our hard-boiled Easter eggs, he didn’t realize our father would take the first crack at hiding them. My brother’s holiday ended early that particular day in 1991, but the rest of the family enjoyed the warm April weather, outside on the lawn, until late into the evening. Perhaps it was the warmth of the day and the joy of eating Easter roast while Tommy contemplated his actions that make my memories of Easter so sweet. Whatever the true reason, the fact is that my favorite holiday of the year is Easter Sunday.

Page 27: Technology Semester #2 - Quarter #2 - Week #2 Presentation - Part 1 3-23-2015 to 3-27-2015

Hook ideas…

o Quotation: Hillary Rodham Clinton once said that “There cannot be true democracy unless women's voices are heard.” In 2006, when Nancy Pelosi became the nation’s first female Speaker of the House, one woman’s voice rang out clear. With this development, democracy grew to its truest level ever in terms of women’s equality. The historical event also paved the way for Senator Clinton as she warmed her own vocal chords in preparation for a presidential race.

Page 28: Technology Semester #2 - Quarter #2 - Week #2 Presentation - Part 1 3-23-2015 to 3-27-2015

Hook ideas…In each example, the first sentence draws the reader in to find out how the interesting fact leads to a point. You can use many methods to capture your reader’s interest.

o Curiosity (something strange) : A duck’s quack doesn’t echo. Some people might find a deep and mysterious meaning in this fact …

o Definition: A homograph is a word with two or more pronunciations. Produce is one example …

o Anecdote (a little story): Yesterday morning I watched as my older sister left for school with a bright white glob of toothpaste gleaming on her chin. I felt no regret at all until she stepped onto the bus …
