We are doing lead-ins including who? what? when? where?, and sometimes why? Some may not be perfect but it's our first try. .....

        FREE GAS !!! A war with Iraq in 2003 with America as the victor gas could become very cheap. 

         Cold war has turned hot. North Korea has nuclear weapons that have range to reach the U.S. With the thought of  war in 2003 or 2004 this could be a major threat. 

         The Big Bang in F.A. The United States tested the largest non-nuclear bomb ever created at Egland Air Force Base in Florida. It was so powerful it cracked people's roof 20 miles away. 

U.S. Economy

        Have you studied the Great Depression? Could you imagine living in such bad conditions that you line up for bread? And that could be your only meal of the day? With the threat of war and the U.S. Economy already very bad this could be your life. Hopefully the U.S.will not go to war and this will not be a major threat . If this were to happen, what would you do? I would run around in a crazy panic. Wouldn't  you ? Well this could pose as a major problem. What would you do to live through this.

Major Al- Qaida Leader Arrested

Do you recall the group of  people who were in carge of  9-11? Well that would be the Al-Qaida. Their "King " ia Osama-bin- laden. He is the bad guy of all bad guys. One of his top leaders was arrested on Monday March 3. This could be a major bonus for the war on terrorism. Do you beleive this will help the War on Terrorism?

War Ya or Na

How would you like to be peacfully sleeping soon to be awakened by sirens alerting you of a nuclear attack soon to happen? This could be an effect of war. War with Iraq has beensomething the U.S. has been desperately trying to decide whether we need to got o war or not. One reason we should go to war is we are sure Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. When there are ups there are downs. So when there are pros there are cons. One reason we shouldn't go to war is that we are not in any immediate danger . War is something very hard to decide to got or not. Hopefully president Bush will make up his mind before it's to late.

Good Model Story-For Elderly, Fear of Falling Is a Risk in Itself

This is a good story to look at.  Notice how the lead grabs the readers attention and all of the sources are first introduced than quoted.  There is also a lot of information and statistics also to back up the story which is really good.  Also the introduction and conclusion somewhat tie the whole article together. 

Here's the link for the story:  http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/05/nyregion/05FALL.html?pagewanted=2

Hope you enjoy the article!!

Friends, relatives mourn death of Mr. Rogers

This is a good article I found about Mr. Rogers that I think you could use to model a news story about.  It answers the who, what when, where, why, and how in the lead, and it uses a lot of different sources throughout the article.  Here is the website: http://www.post-gazette.com/ae/20030302rogers7.asp

I hope you enjoy this article and I also hope it helps you out a little bit!

Hi from NJ

Hi, Lindsay! My name is Alexa and I am a senior at Hunterdon Central. I live in a small town in New Jersey called Ringoes. I have a younger sister named Amanda and a younger brother Andrew and also a fish. I enjoy swimming and am a member of the swim team at my school. I am the vice-president of Latin club, a part of interact club, and a member of National Honor Society and Latin Honor Society. I also like to draw, write, and read whenever I have free time. I work at a restaurant as a hostess and itâs a lot of fun. Hopefully next year I will be attending Boston University and majoring in management. I hope this helps you in knowing a little bit about myself and if you have any questions just ask.

Hi Lindsay! This is Kelley!

Hi, Lindsay! My name is Kelley, and I am a senior at Hunterdon Central. I just turned eighteen two days after Christmas, and I have lived in New Jersey for about seven years. I have a fifteen-year-old brother named Corey, and I also live with my mom, my dad, and my dog, Killeen. I do not do any sports, but I work at a dental office every day after school. I am in a few clubs in my school, so I go to the meetings after school. I also like to write; it is one of my favorite things to do. Writing short stories is my favorite thing to write, but I enjoy any type of writing. I also like to read, and my favorite author is Pat Conroy. You probably have not read any of his books yet because they are very long, but he is a very Southern writer, so you may like him when you get older. Next year, I am going to Penn State University, but I do not know exactly what I am going to major in because there are so many options, but I will probably end up majoring in something that involves writing.

Now that you know a little bit about me, I want you to know that I am very excited to start doing this whole thing with you and your class. You guys seem very open to learning new things, and we are just as excited to help you out with anything you need. I also want you to know that I am very excited to learn a little bit about you throughout the next few weeks. Just remember that if you have any questions with any of your writing or whatever, you can let me know and I will do what I can to help you out. You can email me at [email protected] with any questions or to proofread anything for you; I would be very happy to help you!
