September 19th -- Magazine Hooks

What makes you want to read a magazine article?  What draws your attention?  Today (after reading workshop) we did a mini-lesson on Introduction to Introductions (handout on back of Audience Awareness chart) on the five most common hooks:  quote, statistic, description, story, and question.  We then took our mad skills to the library and looked for hooks in magazines.  This information was logged on a handout entitled "Magazine Madness."  See me if you need a copy.
