Read the following thesis statement for an essay. Then, write three hooks for the essay: a question hook, an anecdote hook, and an imagery hook. Be sure the hooks connect the thesis and the background information. Passage

THESIS: Free breakfast should be provided for students in middle school.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Studies show that many students either don't eat enough, or don't eat healthy foods. Studies also show that students who have healthy diets perform better at school.

Question hook: How would you feel if you had to go to school every day and learn in an empty stomach?

Anecdote hook: The first time I decided to get breakfast at school they told me I had to pay. I had no problem doing this but then my mind wondered about all the other kids that can’t afford it.

Imagery hook: Your family is just getting by. Your mother is working two jobs and you dad isn’t around. No one is there to make you breakfast so you decide to eat it at school but you can’t because of your families financial struggles. This is the reality of many middle school children.
