Fairy Tales do Come True Ledes ExampleThe Elves and the ShoemakerJo was a shoemaker who lived with his wife Margaret. They were very poor. One day, there was no more leather left. Jo had no more material to make shoes. Hungry and miserable, they went to bed.When they woke up the next day, Jo and Margaret found a shining pair of beautiful shoes. They wondered where these shoes had come from. A man, who was passing by, saw the shining shoes and bought them at a good price. Jo was very happy. Margaret and Jo had a hearty meal that night. The next morning, when Jo went to his work shed, he saw another pair of new shiny shoes. He told his wife the good news. Margaret was surprised and happy but very puzzled. The two decided to keep a watch that night to find out who was being so kind to them.In the middle of the night, when everybody else was asleep, Jo and Margaret waited secretly in the working shed. At midnight, they saw two elves! The elves were deep in their work, making shoes for them. By morning, they had made many new shoes. Jo and Margaret were filled with gratitude. When they saw the elves had nothing to wear they decided to make new, warm clothes for them as winter was approaching. They kept their gift in the work shed the next night and hid behind the door. At midnight, the elves came again and saw the beautiful, tiny clothes. The elves were so happy with their new clothes that they sang and danced all night. They now knew that Jo the shoemaker and his wife no longer needed their help, and
went away to help someone else in need.

In the middle of the night, when everybody else was asleep, Jo and Margaret waited secretly in the working shed. At midnight, they saw two elves! The elves were deep in their work, making shoes for them. By morning, they had made many new shoes. Jo and Margaret were filled with gratitude.
When they saw the elves had nothing to wear they decided to make new, warm clothes for them as winter was approaching. They kept their gift in the work shed the next night and hid behind the door. At midnight, the elves came again and saw the beautiful, tiny clothes.
The elves were so happy with their new clothes that they sang and danced all night. They now knew that Jo the shoemaker and his wife no longer needed their help, and went away to help
someone else in need.
Fairy Tales do Come True Ledes Example:The Elves and the Shoemaker
Nut Graf
Two mornings this week business owners Jo and Margaret Shoemaker opened their work shed to find the last scrapes of raw materials left on a workbench missing replaced by pairs of newly crafted shoes.
The following night the Shoemakers saw the culprits responsible, a pair of poorly dressed elves, “deep in their work, making shoes” J. Shoemaker said.
In an unexpected breaking and entering twist the Shoemakers decided to sew new clothing for the break-in culprits as a thank-you for their work M. Shoemaker said.

The Elves and the ShoemakerJo was a shoemaker who lived with his wife Margaret. They were very poor. One day, there was no more leather left. Jo had no more material to make shoes. Hungry and miserable, they went to bed.
When they woke up the next day, Jo and Margaret found a shining pair of beautiful shoes. They wondered where these shoes had come from. A man, who was passing by, saw the shining shoes and bought them at a good price. Jo was very happy. Margaret and Jo had a hearty meal that night.
The next morning, when Jo went to his work shed, he saw another pair of new shiny shoes. He told his wife the good news. Margaret was surprised and happy but very puzzled. The two decided to keep a watch that night to find out who was being so kind to them.

What Nut Grafs Do
• The nut graf tells the reader what the writer is up to.
• It delivers a promise of the story’s content and message.
• It’s called the nut graf because, like a nut, it contains the “kernel,” or essential theme, of the story.
— Chip Scanian, Poynter.org
—Leigh Ann Otte
Slide
89
What Nut Grafs Are
• It's the paragraph telling what the story’s about, so people know why to keep reading—and whether they want to. It’s usually the second paragraph.
• It can, however, be combined with the lede, come a bit later or be longer.
—Leigh Ann OtteSlide
90
Nut Graf
• The nut graf is where the story’s angle is developed.
• Every story is described from some kind of view point.
• This viewpoint is called the angle.
Slide91
Nut Graf Purposes
• The nut graf has several purposes:
• It justifies the story by telling readers why they should care.
• It provides a transition from the lead and explains the lead and its connection to the rest of the story.
• It often tells readers why the story is timely.
• It often includes supporting material that helps readers see why the story is important.

Oregon's unemployment rate fell in January to its lowest point in six-plus years, as
employers again added to their payrolls.
The Employment Department said Tuesday that the statewide jobless level dropped to 6.3
percent in the first month of 2015, compared to 6.7 percent during the final
month of 2014. The measure is now at its lowest level since July 2008, shortly
before the Great Recession.
At the same time, Oregon's jobs base expanded by an estimated 7,600 jobs, according to
the state. Its new hiring report is the first to encompass 2015.
State economists partially credited January's hiring influx the spring-like weather.
"January weather was unusually mild, which allowed many outdoor industries,
particularly construction, to keep more workers on the job than they might usually at this
time of year," the report said.
Contractors gained 1,400 jobs that month, after adjusting for seasonal factors. But it was
