op-ed on topic of the writer's choice

Order Description Lede or Hook: This is the introduction section of your op-ed; it is intended to entice the reader into reading the full story. It is normally the first paragraphs, 3 ? 6 sentences in length. Conclusion/Punchline/ ?Nut ?Graph?: This is the your argument/opinion. You need to have your opinion up front. It is normally 1 ? 2 paragraphs, 2 ? 5 sentences in length. Evidence: This is normally 3 ? 6 paragraphs in length. The paragraphs, while still short compared to more standard writing styles, are often a bit longer than those from the Lede and Nut ?Graph. This is because you are discussing examples and presenting evidence and data statements that support your opinion. Concentrate on policies rather than people. There will be some educational aspect to your presentation; however, be sure to live by the ?show, don?t tell? mantra. Also, translate statistics into grounded numbers that can be easily digested by your reader. Avoid using jargon, but if you must use jargon, quickly define it ?and get back to your argument. Competing Arguments: Address the main (no more than two) argument(s) of people who would disagree with you Walk-off: This is where you explain how to go forward. All op-eds should be forward-looking.
