INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is a section that will conclude your research paper. Format it with 1-inch margins on all sides and a label “Works Cited,” centered at the top. All citations should be listed in alphabetical order below with double-spaces in between them. Use a hanging indent for each entry where the lower line is indented slightly. The MLA generally suggests that you use endnotes for internal citations and notes. Include a separate page prior to the Works Cited page for “Notes.” Each note should be started with a superscript Arabic number. The format for notes slightly differs as well. You'll need to put names first name first and generally use periods instead of commas. If you have incomplete information or if you aren't certain about a particular citation, contact a university librarian near you. You can usually either call or email. They should be able to offer guidance or suggestions based up the recent MLA guide.

SUMMARY: Follow basic formatting rules for the Works Cited page. Use an endnotes page, if possible. Reach out to a librarian for assistance with a difficult citation.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Determine how many people from your group or community are willing to participate. You can post a sign-up sheet in common areas like hallways or designated school, work, or church bulletin boards.  You can also use an online signup sheet like VolunteerSpot or ScheduleOnce. Be clear about the timing on the sign-up sheet and dedicate a column for people to write down the times they’re available if you need to break the day into shifts. Have volunteers sign up for particular tasks and be clear about various duties associated with each role. For example: “Sign holders will be stationed on the sidewalk greeting people,” or “Ushers will collect money and direct cars into the washing zone.” You’ll probably need the following roles:  Sign holders and greeters - Have a few volunteers stationed on street corners near the car wash with their signs. Instruct them to stand about half a block away from the car wash so they can direct people into the area, if necessary. They’ll need to be energetic and be able to speak about the cause to draw people in. Car washers - Dedicate at least 2 people to be washing cars. 4 or 5 washers is ideal so 2 people can be working on a single car at the same time. Washing multiple cars can be exhausting, so they’ll need to have some physical stamina. When it comes to this task, the more people, the better! Cash collectors - Designate 1 person as the official cash collector. They’ll be the ones doing cash and credit transactions either at car windows or at a table. They’ll need to be friendly and be able to talk about the cause. Concession vendors (optional) - If you choose to sell drinks and snacks at the carwash to collect more donations, you’ll need to have 1 person to be stationed at the table. They’ll also need to have a cash box or pouch. People have busy schedules, so breaking up the day into 1 to 2 hour shifts can increase the numbers of volunteers you get. Also, washing cars is hard work and other roles might be deemed boring, so your volunteers probably won’t want to stick with any single task for more than an hour or two.  If you like, leave space for volunteers to list their preferred tasks. Be clear about the timing of each shift so your volunteers know the exact times they’re signing up for. For example:Molly: Cash collector - shift 1 (12:00PM - 1:00PM), Car washer - shift 2 (1:00PM - 2:00PM)Jared: Sign holder / greeter - shift 1 (12:00PM - 1:00PM), Cash collector - shift 2 (1:00PM - 2:00PM). Schedule a day where your volunteers meet up to practice washing cars before the actual event. This act as a way to ensure adequate speed and quality of the wash.  Consider switching around the roles if some people are naturally better at other tasks. For instance, if a car washer is low in energy and needs some food, allow them to swap roles with the cash collector or someone at the concessions stand (if you have one). Use a timer on your smartphone to see how long it takes your volunteers to wash a single car. This is important to know if you want to advertise it as a quick wash or if drivers are in a hurry.

SUMMARY: Create a sign-up sheet to keep track of your volunteers. Create a list of roles and tasks for your volunteers to sign up for. Break up the day into shifts for your volunteers to sign up for. Gather volunteers ahead of time to do a practice run, if possible.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most pinto beans will reach this stage between 90 and 150 days.  Bush beans mature at once, giving you a single harvest. Pole beans yield several harvests and should be picked regularly so that more beans can grow. Note that mature beans can barely be dented when bitten. If the weather starts getting damp before the seeds fully dry, pull the entire plant after most of the foliage has already died and hang it by its roots in a well-ventilated, dry location. The bean pods can finish drying this way. You can shell pinto bean pods individually by hand or in batches.  To shell the beans in batches, place the pods in an old pillowcase and walk on it for a minute or so, crushing the pods open. You can remove the chaff by pouring the beans back and forth between two containers or by letting them sit out in a breezy area. Place the beans in a freezer-safe container and let them sit in your freezer for several hours before transferring them to long-term storage. This added step can help prevent problems with weevils and similar pests. Place the shelled, cool beans in airtight jars and store them in a dry, cool place, like a pantry or cellar. Dried pinto beans will usually last at least one year if stored properly but may last even longer.

SUMMARY:
Wait until the beans dry out. Shell the pods. Freeze the beans temporarily. Store the beans in a cool location.
