Writing leads in an inverted pyramid style was very hard.  You have to know what is the most important information and discuss that in one sentence that summarizes the central message.  The hardest part for me was writing the main points in a shorter format.  It was actually fun it reminded me of putting together an important puzzle.  I can now read a news paper and follow the inverted pyramid style that writers use when writing the stories.

It really helped hearing other class mates by getting better examples of how to format lead sentences.  It taught me what to look for and certain words to use that work with the topics.  After hearing others leads and reading how to write them it is much clearly and easier for me to write the leads.
