Nut Graf:
Also known as the nutshell paragraph, the Nut Graf of a story is the second paragraph that explains the leads connection to the rest of the story. It's called the Nut Graf because it contains the "kernel" or essential theme of the story. It tells the readers why the story is timely and why the readers should care. This section normally helps the reader decide if they want to read the story.
The Nut Graf is also generally followed with a flashy quotation. When writing it, its suggested to put one or two facts in the first sentence. After the first few sentences, it contains supporting material that helps readers see why the story is important. Nut Grafs are used in every story structure.
