Lead: One person will write the Lead. This is where you state the - what, when, where, who.

First Paragraph: All the main information is to be given in this paragraph. This is important information that the readers are going to want first up.

Second Paragraph: This may include; quotes, statements and other information which is not as important.

If there are four of you in a group, then two of you will write the First Paragraph and split it into two paragraphs full of the most important information.

IMPORTANT:
Please note that all your information must be taken from the following facts:
