Writing our leads in an inverted pyramid style was harder than I expected. However, after practicing it, it is getting easier to write in inverted pyramid style. Sometimes deciding what is the most important information to the reader, or what will catch the reader’s eye the most, is hard to pinpoint. Other times, like when someone is killed, writing in inverted pyramid style can be extremely easy.
Now that I have learned what inverted pyramid looks like it will easier to recognize when writers use the inverted pyramid style. Recognizing when writers use inverted pyramid style will help me determine how much of an article I actually want/need to read to get the major points of the story.
Hearing the lead sentences of classmates helps me learn the better and not so better ways to write a lead. Being given examples of leads ends up being extremely helpful.
