  1. Nice start on the ledes, Alyssa. I see each lead is SVO. Great! There's a few issues here that complicate that, though. Look back through your notes: What's a blind lede? (Tip: it has to do with using names in ledes). Also, in #3, what is the correct order of elements in this sentence? (tip: where should the attribution go?) We'll be talking about this on Tuesday, but figured I'd give you a heads up so you could help everyone else out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
