Katie Part 2

So today we took a class with Katie once again. It went pretty well considering I learned a lot. She taught us about leads. Leads are like the way headlines are written i.e. a hard lead would be, "Five dead in mall shootout". A hard lead gets your attention to things that have just happened like within hours. A soft lead would be something that draws you in but doesn't tell you too much i.e. Gloomy Day; that can be about anything at all so you have to read on. I knew about leads but I didn't know what they were called. After teaching us about leads, Blair had us look through various newspapers and find different leads. It was fun cause the ones we thought were certain kinds of leads weren't. I enjoyed the class because I learned something new that will be essential during the next couple of weeks and beyond:)
