We should try to start it off with something that will engage the reader like a joke or a rhetorical question.

Hi blake, great job with your blog post. I really liked how you described what a hook is. Maybe next time you could ask what other things that they think can hook people in?
ReplyDeleteNice job Blake is there anything else you can add? other then that I like how you explained it very well.
