What is a lesson hook generator?
A lesson hook generator suggests short, attention-grabbing ways to start a lesson. In Edform, you type your lesson topic or add a photo of a page, and choose the grade and subject. You get five hooks of 2–5 minutes, each a different type: a problem question, a surprising fact, a real-life situation, a short game or action, and a visual or audio prompt. Each has a catchy name, exactly what the teacher says or does, and how to move into the topic; puzzles come with the answer for you. Ask for more ideas, make them more interactive, or adapt them for younger or older students, then build the lesson around your favourite.
