INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Since slate tiles can vary slightly in size, it is important to do a dry run with your tiles so you know where to adjust the surface level and position of your tiles. Draw an “x” through the room with chalk. When the lines cross they will create a 90-degree angle on which you can check for even spacing. Use tile spacers during the dry run to ensure you have even spacing. If you do, you will want to reposition your layout, so that cut tiles of even width can be laid at either end. This will result in a symmetrical floor. Measure the tile to account for a one-eighth-inch (0.3-cm) grout space along the wall. You can cut slate tile with a diamond-blade wet saw, grinder or hacksaw with an abrasive blade. Place a line of chalk on them during your dry run, so that you can make this important change when you lay your mortar.

SUMMARY: Sketch a layout for the color scheme of the slate. Measure lines through the width and length of the room. Lay out your tile to figure out the best use of color. Decide if you will need to cut tile at the edges of the room. Cut tiles to fit around the edges of the room. Mark tiles that require extra thinset on the back to create an even surface.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Take your inhaler out of the package. Grasp it in your hand and firmly shake it vertically for 5 seconds. Point the inhaler mouthpiece away from you. Press the top of the canister down to release a single puff of air. Do this entire process once more before using your inhaler.  You’ll need to repeat this process each time you get a new inhaler. If you drop your inhaler, it’s also a good idea to prime it before using it again. It’s also a good idea to write the date on the outside of the inhaler’s box after you’ve opened it. This will give you a point of reference in case the medication expires. A Turbuhaler is an all-in-one inhaler marketed under the name Symbicort. You’ll do the exact same things to use it as a traditional inhaler with 1 exception. Before you use a Turbuhaler, you’ll need to hold it upright and twist the grip in both directions. You do this instead of priming it. Once you hear a single clicking noise, the inhaler is loaded and ready to use. Like other inhalers, the Turbuhaler is loaded with a fine medicated powder. Take a deep breath and then push the air out of your lungs until they are completely empty. Don’t do this until directly before you are ready to use the inhaler. Hold the inhaler vertical in your hand.

SUMMARY: Shake your inhaler for 5 seconds then prime it. Twist the top if you are using a Turbuhaler. Breathe out fully.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t immediately switch gears when you finish reading. (Switching gears immediately is the surest way to erase everything you just read from your short term memory.) You will process better and remember more if you take a few minutes to reflect on what you read. Reflect on your pre-reading (fit it into the course goals). Write a summary. Here are some sample questions you could discuss:  What is this writer’s purpose? Who is the audience? What are the main points/topics covered? What reasons and evidence support these main points? How is it relevant to this course? Context. What am I supposed to learn from this? How and how strongly do I react to this? Why?   Question the material. What do I think is wrong/right? Why? What reasons do I have for my beliefs? This helps move the material from short-term to long-term memory. If you find you need to review the material in order to complete your assignment, you will be able to find the parts you need more quickly.

SUMMARY:
Reflect on what you have read. Try using two or more of the following strategies: Review the reading material within 24 hours to process it again. Begin any assignments promptly after reading the text.
