Good lede drafts

The two ledes I like were Annie's and Cristy's.

I really liked Annie's angle on her news story. It wasn't about the negative side effects of college students and credit card debt. It is about how college students can avoid credit card debt through knowledge. I was hooked when I read, "consciously conquer" and "self control." I'm excited to read her news story because it's different. I enjoy the way she rights.

I also liked Cristy's lede. She gave attribution which made her more crediable. She also started with a startling fact that grabbed my attention right away.

When I was reading everyone's ledes, these two really stood out. They were different in structure and content. They are both off to great starts. Can't wait to read more!
