High School Anatomy & Physiology

ClassHook is the creative piece I've been looking for YEARS!! Anytime I see a clip in a movie that I could use, I try and make a mental note but usually have a hard time accessing the movie. Because I teach anatomy, there are SOOOO many possibilities. This is a fantastic site.

High School Social Sciences

I like it a lot. For so long I've been looking for something that made the use of videos more efficient for class. I will definitely be using this in my class this year. This is really the way to connect with students. It's what they're accustomed to.

6th & 7th Grade ELA

I love the concept of ClassHook so deeply; pulling in examples from pop culture that kids already know is one of the best strategies in my experience.

Wes

Middle School History

I absolutely love ClassHook and have used it multiple times in the past week. I use a clip as a jumping off point for a lesson or include it in my lesson summary to drive home important points in a visual way. Thank you so much!

Julie

5th Grade Math

I REALLY like ClassHook. It saves me time searching on my own for engaging hooks to get my kids involved. The clips I've found have been great! My class absolutely loved the Ma and Pa Kettle and the Abbott and Costello clips on division.
