BTW not a fan of Ai in writing at this time. It requires extreme caution and must be trained to know your voice aka style otherwise it kills creativity. WE need some strict guidelines for Ai use and responsible data storage. WE NEED A GLOBAL PLAN FOR THIS—WE DON’T EVEN HAVE STATE ONES YET!

9) Also, two of the best “hook” writers and users are Pres Barack & Michelle Obama. Both lawyers trained to get their point across. Listen to or read their speeches—even if just the first third. Look at opening paragraphs of great literature like Moby Dick. NOW I’m done.😉 NOW I hope that helps!

8) as you write. I used to tell my students to think of telling a child about your project. They don’t know your math vocabulary but they can understand your project if explained to enable them too. Advanced students would do that then substitute vocab while defining if necessary, for older readers.

7) you may know that the WSJ is written for 7th grade reading level, most other media outlets aim for 3rd-6th. Expresswriters.com says the average adult reads at 8th grade level but still has difficulty with some concepts. It will help if you keep your audience and their reading level in your mind

6) Forgot: re tailoring for general consumption—yes! Maybe simpler explanation of what the formula is, why you came up with it and how it helps. Bottomline for me is that it’s proof that the more of us who vote, the less chance there is of cheating impacting results—which is HUGE!

5) like a fishing hook attracts fish. Hence the slang name. Hope that helps!

4)…the reading path you want them to follow. The entire introduction is where readers get accustomed to your voice and where the understanding of your point begins. It should be a map of the who,what,why,where & how of what’s coming next. So the hook also a “lead” in journalism is meant to attract—

3/that is related to your topic and grabs or hooks the reader into reading the full piece. Sometimes it’s a question or a simple statement. Sometimes it’s a related story. Hooks or grabbers are usually at the beginning of an introduction. They’re used to entice readers and set them on

1) I’m a retired journalist who also taught it for 16 yrs but I don’t pretend to be an expert, and I edit science papers for a former student now a UCLA CS professor and her students as a volunteer. My suggestions are just that. You are the writer. It’s your voice.

de nada.

Mighty. You’re back up and running! You probably let me know but I was distracted and haven’t checked emails. Sorry.
