Writing/Story Assignment #1: Leads

 

Read the instructions carefully. If the exercise calls for an impact lead, follows the style and format for a hard news summary lead but place the emphasis of the lead on those affected. If the exercise calls for a delayed identification lead, be sure to write two sentences, two separate paragraphs for that lead. If the exercise calls for a creative/feature lead, be sure your lead will capture readers' attention.

 

Write leads for the following exercises:

 

Ex. 8-1, #3

Ex. 8-2, #1, 4

Ex. 8-4, #1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Ex. 8-7, #2, 3

 

Please type and double space.
