My students chose the following for their lead. I will admit that there was quite a bit of discussion and there was still a bit of dissent.

School/Grade:LBJ High/ 11th Grade
Headline:"Obama to Take a Break to See Ill Grandmother"
Date Story Published:Oct. 21
Section of Newspaper:A
Page Number Story Begins On:1
Criteria for Selection: Students felt that since it dealt with a major contender for the presidency who was taking time off during the final push, it was a story of major importance.The number of people directly impacted by the story was small, but the indirect relevance was huge, according to the majority of my kids.
