After the short time spent sitting in the class of EN212 and all the hard work putting in the papers and blogs I've been writing, my knowledge has increased from the first day i walked in class. I would have never learned some of the things I've learned thus far in any of my English classes i have taken. After obtaining much information such as what a nut graph is, how to interview someone, attribution, and the basic elements of a news story, nothing more has gave me more knowledge than a hard news lead and summary lead. In chapter 7, it is the most important part of the chapter because summary leads and hard news leads are the most important part of any story.
After we learn new concepts or idea's we put that information to use in a homework assignment like a simple two column report or the writing and editing project. However, a hardnews lead can be used in any assignment in any class when writing about something because it describes the most important things first before getting into detail and that can be used in any subject and something. One assignment where this was put to good use and help me understand the importance more was writing about the parking situation at FCC. The hard-news lead choses the most important factors first and simple information like who, what, where, when and why. In the story about FCC i had to come up with a simple, catchy, lead that had the most important information in it. Thats where using who, what, where, when and why helped me out in making a strong lead, providing the best and most important information first. Like where, FCC, when, summertime, what, students, tickets and parking crisis.
A hard-news lead let me understand the concept of having something short and informative about the most important information in a story or report of some sort. This idea was the most beneficial to me so far.
