Students are working on a unit in reading based upon Standard 1, in which they will learn to recognize words and develop vocabulary to become more fluent readers. They will learn to use context clues, predict, question, and summarize as ways to communicate more effectively. They will apply these strategies in the poem "The Raven" and the short story, "The Birds." The unit activities were designed using the WHERE model. Which of the following activities would serve as the best hook activity?
a. Discuss the goals of the unit, give an overview, and describe the performance tasks.
b. Discuss the goals, introduce the essential questions, and answer student questions.
c. Connect the essential questions to the literature that the students will read in the unit.
d. Have students share their answers to the question, "What was the scariest moment in your life?"
