Lead Paragraph Worksheet
The most used openings for leads are the who and the what.
In deciding what to include in the lead, ask yourself: What is the first question a reader would ask? What is the first thing you would tell another person about the situation or event? It is the reason for doing the story, that aspect that makes an event or occurrence special.
