  4. Snapshot Lead the story starts with a show-not-tell description “Abraham Lincoln wasn't the sort of man who could lose himself in a crowd.  After all, he stood 6 foot, four inches tall, and to top it off he wore a high silk hat.  His height was mostly in his long bony legs, and when he sat in a chair he seemed no taller than anyone else.  It was only when he stood up that he towered above other men.” from Lincoln: a Photobiography by Russell Freedman “Sally is the girl with eyes like Egypt and nylons the color of smoke. The boys at school think she’s beautiful because her hair in shiny black like raven feathers and when she laughs, she flicks her hair back like a satin shawl over her shoulder and laughs.” from The House on Mango Streetby Sandra Cisneros

  5. Talking Lead the story starts with dialogue "Where's Papa going with that ax?" said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast. from Charlotte’s Webby E.B. White
