Summary

Feature Leads, Bodies and Conclusions

Objective(s):

·       To recognize and understand the differences in structure and purpose between summary leads and feature leads.

·        To be able to write different types of feature leads, depending on the type of story.

 

The lead is vitally important to the story. No matter how well the body or conclusion is written, if the lead does not grab the attention of the reader and hold it, the reader will not continue to read. The reporter must entice the reader through the lead. Here are some common types of feature leads:

·       Allusion leads: These leads give the reader a reference to a character from history, literature or mythology and relate that reference to what is going on in the story.

·       Anecdotal leads: This type of lead uses a brief story to represent the universal experience.

·       Contrast leads: These leads point out opposites, such as hot and cold, wet and dry, rich and poor, then and now. They work when the contrast is obvious and it relates to the subject of the story.

·       Parody leads: A well-known song, poem, phrase or title can be re-written to begin your story, if the reference is clear.

·       Narrative lead: Through reading the lead, the reader feels as though he or she is in the middle of the action.

·        Descriptive lead: The lead can describe a person, a place or an event.

·       Startling statement lead: This type of lead consists of a single statement which is designed to startle the reader, then, in subsequent paragraphs, it goes on to explain the situation.

·       Question lead: Use this type of lead with caution. Translation: almost never. Unless the question is very relevant, the lead will appear contrived and cliché.

·       Quotation lead: Again a caveat. Use with caution. If the quote is extremely powerful and dynamic and really captures the theme of the story, then perhaps it could be used as the lead. However, it might be better to make it the first quote following the lead.

 

The Body of the Story

A feature needs more than a seductive lead and punchy ending. It has to be hold the reader’s attention throughout with moments of suspense and resolution. Some of the techniques which help sustain a piece are:

·       Repetition of core themes, metaphors and figurative language.

·       Varying sentence and paragraph length and pace.

·       Consider the point of view.

 

The End of the Story

There are several ways to end the story. Here are a few of the most common ones:

·       End on a powerful quote.

·       End with an anecdote.

·       Summarize the story in the final paragraph briefly.

·       Circle back to the lead.

 

Reflection

For the most important of journalism is future leads, bodies, and conclusion, and  this can help transfer knowledge effectively between educators and student. Now, I realise that journalism effective teaching about feature leads, bodies, and conclusion make students strength when making a news because news need news blogging so the most commonly used lead is the inverted pyramid lead. This lead starts with the essential information, followed by supporting details and background information in descending order of importance. It is because readers/ audiences often have limited attention spans and want to know the essential facts of the story upfront this make me as a student more confidence to use and learn English feature materials news in class or public. So, to know what i want to do when i increase my knowledge about english and in the future when I became to be a teacher or journalist i know how to give the student effective of learning and know about feature lewds, bodies, and conclusion. for me the activites learning that make me know all about english is to know what i will learn like i summarize, memorize the course and distribution of english and check the grammar to know if my english is already good. hopefully this material can add knowledge and insight related to learning innovation for me to get better sense of the purpose of the material.
