Scribe post: August 24th Lead-ins

Lead-ins:

Examples (good lead-ins):
-During the trial, Hale leads Abby to incriminate Tituba: "Did you..."
-Hale tempts Abby to incriminate Tituba in court, inquiring "Did you..."
 
Non-examples (bad lead-ins):
-At the beginning of the book, Hale says, "Did you..."
-On page 40, Hale shows his increasingly manipulative nature. He also shows his desire for control. "Did you..."

What makes an effective lead-in?
-strong vocabulary
-gets to the point quickly
-informative
-leaving out the un-wanted details ("On page __ ", "At the beginning", etc."
-all in one sentence
-no analysis
-uses either a comma or a colon before the quote
-states who is talking and who they are talking to (if it is important to include)

Should answer the questions "who" and "what" about the quote.
