Writing leads in the inverted pyramid styles is definitely not what I am used to. Growing up you’re expected to write in a way that rather cluttered by descriptive words but when writing leads you have to do the opposite. At first it took sometime understanding what was important to my audience as opposed to whats clutter. But after some practice it became easier to decipher what is important to the article I am writing. Although, I will admit I am far from perfect at writing leads and have a lot to learn. I believe that now I can recognize the inverted pyramid style in newspapers because I know the objectives of writing these leads.  I also enjoy hearing other classmates leads. I feel like It always helps to hear the way others write their leads so I can compare and try to broaden the ways I write my own leads.
