10. After making a hook, remember . . .
The hook should relate to the essay's larger topic.
After you make a hook, it could take a few sentences to transition into the topic development and then the thesis. Take your time and write what is necessary to help link your ideas.
In the conclusion, try to reconnect to the hook to help the essay work as one writing piece rather than four separate paragraphs.
