| Teaching activities for journalism to write news leads for grades 7-10. Leads are important as they hook the reader into reading the article. The more engaging a title is the more apt you are to read the piece. This exercise will have your students look at different leads and decide what grabbed them. Then they will find 3 that did not grab them and explain why not. Finally they will write a lead for a fire at a stadium, new drug for the common cold and torrential rains cause flooding.
