Leads exercise: Leading with the right “W”

Consider the following leads. Which of the following “W” does each lead begin with? Which one do you like the most and why? Feel free to discuss with others:

●     Three WSU students were injured Friday when lightning struck their car in the Pullman Walmart Parking lot.

○     Who

●     Lightning struck a parked car at the Pullman Walmart on Friday, sending three WSU students to the hospital.

○     what

●     On Friday night, three WSU students were injured when lightning struck their parked car at the Pullman Walmart.

○     When

●     At the Pullman Walmart, three WSU students were injured when lightning struck their parked car.

○     Where

I liked the “ What” part because it explains what actually happened, and during that what part it included who was a part of it, and where it was located at. I also like the “ Who” because it explains who was involved, and it gets right to the point.
