Writing for Communication/ Nawaguna Assignment on writing leads Due to me in print at the beginning of class on Feb. 6, 2020. Please also email me a Microsoft Word version (NOT a PDF). Please put your name and the date at the top of each page and double space your copy. Follow the instructions for each lead. Remember, I’ll also be grading you on proper grammar, spelling and style rules (names, dates, titles etc.). You may use the AP Stylebook. The information below contains deliberate errors. Be sure to read over your copy and make edits before turning it in. Remember to include the necessary elements of the lead. Remember to think of the 5Ws and H, and news values. Feel free to use any type of lead to consider appropriate. 1) For this lead, write only the first sentence. It is worth 3 points. Ellicott city mayor Phil Johnson resigned today. He is facing corruption charges. Johnson received cash payments, campaign contributions and expensive trips from businesses. Then he gave them city contracts. That is what prosecutors claim. He received landscaping work at his home from businesses looking to do work in the city. Businesses that did not support his campaign were kept from getting city contracts. 2) For this lead, write the first and second sentence. It is worth 3 points Two armed gunmen robbed the Jewelry Shoppe at 1118 Main Street at about 12:00 pm noon yesterday. They escaped with about $1,200 in cash and with jewelry valued at about $35,000 to $40,000. The two armed gunmen, described as being in their mid-20s, wore business suits when they entered the store and said they wanted to look at a watch then drew their handguns and forced the owner, Thomas Murray, to empty several cash registers and to open several display cases containing watches, rings, pearl earrings and necklaces, which they scooped up. Two clerks and five customers in the store at the time were made to lie face down on the floor. 3) Write a lead and a second sentence from the facts below. Also, use a direct quote as your third sentence. Remember the correct way to punctuate direct quotes. This is worth 4 points. Young people are angry that their governments are not doing enough to combat climate change. People from 150 countries, mostly young people walked out of school and their work places to march. It’s Friday January 24, 2020. It was the second global climate protest. It started in the early hours of the day in Australia. More than 300,000 young people in Sydney and Melbourne marched on the streets. People marched in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, California, and Seattle, Washington. There were hundreds of thousands of people. In small and big cities across European, African and Asian countries. Jamie Ballard joined the march in Kenmore, a city in Washington state. She is fifteen. She carried a sign that said, “Listen to the future generation.” She missed school to march. “I’ll probably get in trouble for dodging school today but it’s worth it because I refuse to be the last generation.” That is what Jamie said at the march. It would be time for her math lesson at Franklin High School. There were other clever signs. One sign said, “I skipped school today so I can live tomorrow.” Another sign said “I just took a DNA test. Turns out I’m 100% terrified for our future.”
