Remote Instruction 'HOOKS' by Elaine Klauer https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw Challenges & Ideas en-us 2020-07-14 16:04:56 UTC 2020-08-20 20:09:56 UTC hello@padlet.com Hooks dbarnes43_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/671892254 For me the challenge as I have been planning out the courses was how to do the following: connect to learning that they got last year in WS, and then introduce learning that will benefit them in government and econ next year. To do this I am creating check-ins at least 1-2 times a week (using forms, formative, zoom polls, and quizizz) this use of hook will help them know when we assign something that we want to get feedback and check for learning. In hyperdoc activities creating hook questions engage them from the get go; relating it to them so they can make a connection. Because we will not see them physically the use of hooks we be a work in progress throughout the year with them as we learn more about them.

I am going to have to make sure that I "hook" them on the first session so they will want to stay engaged. I plan on giving them some time to create a "getting to know you" slide the first day. This will give them an opportunity to be creative and express themselves. This will also allow me to find out their likes and dislikes. I can then use what I learn to inform my outreach and instruction going forward. I want to make sure that I keep it simple but interactive as well. ]]> 2020-08-07 00:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/671929665 I agree with Mary Breen's comment about the challenge of student's possibly not showing up to Zoom sessions or coming late. Otherwise, I'm not concerned about transitions. Most of my transitions in regular school involve a question (sometimes review, sometimes introducing a topic) with time to respond individually and then time to turn and talk before a few students share out. This seems easy to duplicate in Zoom with break-out rooms for sharing. sburke85_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/672886643 2020-08-07 23:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/672886643 Hook bshores5_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/673178673 I am also echoing the statements from Su and Mary. I'm not overly concerned with hooks. I think, in a digital setting, there are plenty of tools to get them thinking about the things we want them to. For me, it'll just be a matter of tinkering with the different tools and websites to figure out what my routine will be. Personally, I think the best hook for a digital class will probably be having a set routine. This way, kids will know what to expect most of the time. They'll also be aware of what they're missing if they are late to a session.

I think there is even more opportunity in Distance Learning.  I too want to establish a routine.  It is so important.

Introducing topics, skills, assignments in a creative and/or engaging way is something we have been doing (I feel as a department) forever. However, engagement can be loss if students are not actively participating. So, this is where I will be focusing my energies: finding ways to check-in to make sure students are there, understanding, and thinking.]]> 2020-08-09 22:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/673630534 Hooks nkimura4 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/674469303 Making sure to make connections to real life applications.

If a student has a why on what they are learning or being assigned a project that can be used a hook. 
A challenge I for see with my students is seeing my class as a huge mountain that they only have 6 weeks versus 18 weeks to climb. Especially if the students relive experiences last semester they be a little nervous. But if I have them take one switch back at a time with different kinds of hooks I can get them up the mountain. ]]> 2020-08-10 20:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/674831858 Hooks https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/674933925 Making it relevant to modern issues and problems.

One issue I have with hooks is that I'm a perfectionist. I would spend a couple of hours looking for a hook, and then I would want to make sure my lessons circled back to the hook again. Some science concepts are very abstract and seemingly irrelevant at times. Maybe when I'm looking at a standard, I need to first ask myself, why do kids need to know this? This might help guide my lesson and hook design. ]]> 2020-08-10 23:55:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/674987740 Hooks work for me when I tie the content to students real life experiences or goals. Anything that is personal to a student or even to teachers has more of a purpose than anything else, in my opinion. mvillegas31_3 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675077824 2020-08-11 01:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675077824 Finding hooks should not be the challenge in math. However, keeping students engaged and apply the math skills in the hooks examples might be challenge. Some students cannot apply what they have learned into word problems. jnaidu3_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675274905 2020-08-11 05:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675274905 I believe this strategy is crucial to engage and sustain student attention. In American Sign Language there is a mountain of resources that can draw the students in and keep them motivated. However, the key will be to choose quality versus quantity. agalaviz2 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675941502 2020-08-11 16:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675941502 Hooks https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/675962959 I started most of my EdPuzzle videos with a question.

This gives teacher's the opportunity to make information relevant and exciting. I always try to use hooks that I know students will get excited about.

There is no shortage of pressing economic concerns today that we can draw from to bring students attention to and hopefully get them to share what they see and how they are experiencing what is going on in our world today. bsigourney1_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676098400 2020-08-11 18:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676098400 I always start out with what we are learning and why/how we are going to use it. If there is one thing I want my class to be it is pragmatic. When I was in high school and college, I always asked, "When am I ever going to use this?" Explaining when I am going to use graphing parabolas or knowledge of Reconstruction is difficult. Explaining why I need to be able to ask for directions, ask how much something costs in a store or spell things correctly so the reader can easily understand and wants to respond is pretty easy. tschroeder19_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676116451 2020-08-11 18:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676116451 Finding Hooks kbambrick2 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676123313 Sometimes, I find it challenging to relate a math concept to something students find relevant or interesting, but I always try to bring up where/when they might use it in future classes.

This is always a challenge. This year I plan to maybe sprinkle hooks throughout each lesson that can relate to the standard. This is easier said than done.

When possible I love integrating hooks - short video, short cartoon, life connection, short story, etc.... Sometimes a hook may not apply but when it is possible it make the lesson come alive and the students actually show more interest if they can relate to the hook. kbianchi5_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676145709 2020-08-11 18:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676145709 Prior knowledge jbessa1_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676150409 I use hooks.

It is fairly easy to lead in to the main concept of a lesson when we are interacting with students (sure, this will be more difficult via Zoom), but I want to create this effect whenever my students open up an asynchronous task. We really need to communicate what the purpose of their task is so that it does not then become "busywork" to them. If they have a sense that their independent tasks are meaningful and purpose-driven (rather than something we assigned them to fill up the time, which was probably the driving factor last spring), they will hopefully be more motivated to invest time and effort into their academic development.]]> 2020-08-11 18:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676154403 Hooks are so important to engage students from the start and definitely plan to continue using them with RL.

With history it's always good to create a connection to real world issues. Luckily everything seems to come back on itself. I also like to try to connect things to a personal story or a crazy historical trivia piece. (Oh, and I really did find a body...ask me about it sometime. I am almost over the trauma.) ]]> 2020-08-11 19:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676212594 eherzog6_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676231023 Hooks might be a challenge since I tried to connect them to the labs that we would be working on in the unit to get students thinking about the content.

We are going to discuss "should we perform music that has a controversial past?" For example, many of our American Folk songs were part of Minstrel Shows. Should we eliminate these songs from our performances?

I dare myself to keep statistics and see what kinds of hooks work best in my content. I do feel like, in my game design content, that using student responses to visual pieces, whether designs or actual games may work well. The hazard of some kinds of hooks is that students may want to stay in that media  longer than is productive. That means that I need to structure the directions and response extremely
 well. ]]> 2020-08-11 21:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676322648 I like using hooks in class, specially in AP Spanish Literature and the HLS series. I always go over the what and why at the start of each day, but then I usually include a hook to bring the student's personal experiences and relate them to what we will be learning/discussing that day. This makes them more interested in what we are learning, since they can connect the topic to their personal life. https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676329706 2020-08-11 21:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676329706 Hooks hnichols61 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676338709 Hooks are so important for capturing student engagement, especially when tailored to their interests. I am going to work on getting to know each group/cohort of students and seeing how I can connect content to their interests at the beginning of the lessons. A popular dance trend is Tik Toks, so even posting a Tik Tok dance of the genre that is the same one I'll be teaching that week could be effective. I've noticed that hooks are also effective if you can make them smile or laugh, so I'll be sure to be cognizant of the images I include in my materials when I introduce topics. The internet has so many resources that we can use as hooks, so I'm excited to grow in this aspect. ]]> 2020-08-11 21:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676338709 Module 2 Hook https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676353770 Creating a hook in our current environment is vital for success of our students. As teachers, we need to make sure we understand the content well enough to create a hook that is appropriate, make sure it connects to past content and appropriately leads into the next section of learning.]]> 2020-08-11 21:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676353770 There is always an application for the math we teach in high school, however, finding those application problems maybe challenging in some classes. One way we can incorporate a better hook is to have a problem as the hook and let the students know that by the end of the lesson, they will be able to solve that problem. My students seemed to buy in more when I did that. https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676379101 2020-08-11 22:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676379101 Smile https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676379460 I am going to use my winning personality to hook my students. ]]> 2020-08-11 22:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676379460 Frank: https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676393248 I often use hooks that are relevant and timely. For example, in my introductory video for World Studies I mentioned the artist Ruth Asawa, who was among the 100K plus individuals of "Japanese ancestry" who were unjustly incarcerated by the U.S. during WW2. This week the USPS recognized her with a series of stamps. In addition, a childhood friend of mine (from San Juan Bautista) recently received an LA Area Emmy for a documentary he directed that included Asawa's life and work. Flipgrid allows for users to import pictures, so I found some of Asawa that I pasted on the screen. It made for a better hook.]]> 2020-08-11 22:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676393248 Hooks are great, I agree, but I may find it a challenge in PE--Trying to get the attention of so many diverse, possibly non-active students may prove to be difficult. I'll have to give it some thought. kpeterson91_1 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676396785

Getting the students excited to being active while at home was challenging in the Spring.

In my Spanish 2S Honors, hooks are very common. A challenge would be coming up with a good hook to engage the students present. Maybe the hook can even begin before the student joins the zoom meeting. It can be a short announcement, a note on remind etc. ]]> 2020-08-12 00:02:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676471445 Hook https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676574535 One challenge that I am anticipating is the quick paced lessons. In a math classroom it is important to dive deep into the standard to understand the relevance between the importance of math in the "world." 
A solution to this is to show the real-world problem and explicitly inform students that higher level mathematics classes will help better understand and do lessons. ]]> 2020-08-12 01:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676574535 Hooks https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676620090 Hooks are a great way to introduce a new unit to students.

Also, hooks could trigger a class discussion that leads to the goal of the day. Also, they are an excellent way to make them realize that the day's objective has real-world applications.]]> 2020-08-12 07:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/676840407 Hooks jhernandez376_2 https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/677326760 I connect to personal experiences in high school and college.  I connect to current event, etc.

I could also provide them with a link to a video to discuss in breakout rooms. Or, show a video at the start of class and have them write a quick reflection in a google form, then prompt a discussion in class.]]> 2020-08-12 20:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/eklauer5/smq2pt70aeuwhriw/wish/677803203 Perhaps in distance learning videos would be easy and useful hooks.
