+==1. Describe the elements of a good lead paragraph and the use and importance of headlines.==
-A '''lead paragraph''' in [[Literature]] refers to the opening [[paragraph]] of an [[Article (publishing)|article]], [[essay]], news [[story]] or book [[chapter]]. Often called just "the lead", it usually opens together with the [[headline]] or [[title]], almost always gives the reader the main idea of the story preceding the main [[body]] of the article and the final [[conclusion]]. The "lead" immediately grabs the attention of the reader and must be at least three [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentences]] long. It also needs to directly relate to the body of the article. The word is frequently spelled '''lede''' in the journalism industry. [http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20001128]

-Leads in essays summarise the outline of the argument and conclusion that follows in the main body of the essay.
-Encyclopedia leads tend to do define the subject matter as well as emphasising the interesting points of the article.

-General articles in magazines tend to be somewhere in between journalism and encyclopedias and often lack a disinct lead entirely.
+==6. Write a story on one of the following:==
+*'''a. How your family first accepted Christ, whether it was you, your parents, your grandparents, etc.'''
-Leads or introductions in books vary enormously in length and content.
+*'''b. Personal experiences of answered prayer or divine guidance.'''
+*'''c. An interesting pet that you have had.'''
-==Rules==
+*'''d. An experience you have had while at summer camp or on a camping trip.'''
-The key to understanding the lead usually lies in the reader’s ability to identify and understand the subject and the main verb. In general, there are three sentence types found in the lead.
+*'''e. When God first became real to you as a friend and personal savior.'''
+*'''f. The most difficult thing about being a Christian today.'''
-# The subject and the [[main verb]] are found together at or near the beginning of the sentence. This is by far, the most common sentence type.
-# The subject is separated from the main verb by information about the subject, often in the subject, often in the form of a [[relative clause]] – the clause that starts with who, which, when, where and whose.
-# The sentence begins with an introductory phrase. In such cases, students must learn to read until they find a comma, after which they will find the main verb.
