INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Get all of your stretching done first before you start singing. Move your neck in slow circles to stretch those muscles, or switch between a big smile and an open mouth in the shape of an ‘O’ to stretch your face. Do each exercise 5-10 times to stretch your muscles well.  Bend your head back and flex your tongue outwards to stretch your throat. Do 5 big yawns to stretch the muscles around your mouth. Focus on one stretch if you don't have much time, or do 5 of each exercise to practice multiple stretches in one sitting. This is when you make your voice imitate the sound of an ambulance’s siren, moving up to the higher notes, back down to lower notes, and then back up again in one continuous sound. This will help you find out what your full range is while stretching your vocal cords. These help you reach your maximum high note by trying to imitate the high pitched noise of a siren. Arpeggios are useful exercises that help you transition from the different major and minor scales. Singing arpeggios to different vowels or other sounds is a great way to extend your vocal range.  Go online to find videos of arpeggio scales for you to sing along with, helping you practice. You might sing "ee-ee-ee-ee-ee," with the first and last "ee" being the lowest and the middle one being the highest note. Instead of being a continuous sound, arpeggios have very small pauses between each note. Vocal slides are a great way for you to gently reach high notes before coming back down. Use your voice to slide from a low note to a high note, and then back down as if your voice was on a swing.  Vocal slides are more controlled than vocal sirens, though they sometimes sound similar. Try humming your vocal slides or choosing a sound like “wooo” or “ahhh.” Vocal slides help relax your throat, making it easier for you to reach higher notes. While most of your early practicing should be focused on reaching the high notes briefly and then going back down, after you’ve mastered this skill, you can go even further. Once you reach your highest note, try to hold it for several seconds before going back down the scale.

SUMMARY: Stretch your facial and neck muscles to help your vocal cords. Practice vocal sirens to strengthen your high notes. Try arpeggios to practice your different pitches. Use vocal slides to slowly move up to higher notes. Draw out the high note once you reach it to practice holding it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most fish are coated in a moist protective layer of mucus, and too much contact can damage that layer. Keeping your hands wet while you hold the fish will help avoid damage. If you are using gloves, wet your gloves in the water before handling the fish. Pulling the fish out of the water at all can stress and potentially injure it. If you plan on releasing the fish, the best bet for its survival is to keep it in the water while you unhook it. If you have to raise it above the water to unhook it, try to keep it as close to the water as possible. This will help you determine how long you can safely keep the fish out of the water where it can breathe. While it’s not a perfect measurement, it can be a convenient way to keep track of time and ensure that you remember to return the fish to water before it suffocates. If you don’t want to hold your breath, keep track of time and make sure the fish isn’t out of the water for more than 90 seconds. Placing your fingers behind the gill plate, or the flaps on either side of the fish’s head, will typically give you a secure grip. Be very careful not to touch or insert your fingers in the actual gills, which are delicate organs necessary for the fish’s survival. Smaller fish, such as crappie, bluegill, or tilapia, can usually be held with one hand. If the fish is big enough that it can be held with 2 hands, it’s best to do so. This will keep the weight of the fish from damaging its bones or internal organs. Holding a large fish with 1 hand can put dangerous amounts of pressure on its jaw or gill plate. Keep 1 hand behind the gill plate and the other under its belly. Most largemouth bass, catfish, and carp are best held with both hands. It is very important to keep the fish’s body straight to avoid bending its jaw or spine at an unnatural angle. For this reason, it is best not to move the fish around too much when handling it. It’s also considered safer to keep the fish horizontal, since a vertical position is unnatural for most fish and could cause damage to internal organs. The fish’s body should not be at more than a 10° angle to its head at any time. Many fish have dorsal fins, or fins on their backs, that can cut into your hand if you’re not prepared. If you are holding a small fish with 1 hand, slide your hand from the front of the fish to the back to smooth the dorsal fin down under your palm so that you can safely grip the sides of the fish.
Summary: Get your hands wet before handling the fish. Keep the fish underwater if possible. Hold your breath while you have the fish out of the water. Hold the fish horizontally with your hand behind the gill plate. Support larger fish with both hands. Keep the fish’s body in a straight horizontal line. Avoid touching the sharp edges of the dorsal fins.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Insert a pitchfork into the soil you are planning to collect your worms from. Again, remember that worms thrive in dirt that is moist, and nutrient-rich, with plants and crops nearby and with mulch covering the soil. Make sure the majority of the fork tenors are in the ground. Rock the pitchfork back and forth in a constant rhythm, almost wiggling the pitchfork in place. Worms will start to surface from the dirt. This process may take a few minutes, so patience is key. Use your fingers to pick up the surfaced worms. They will be scattered, but be sure to maintain the rocking rhythm of the pitchfork. Keep your collected worms in a container with a perforated lid. The container should also have some dirt from which the worms can from, or some commercial worm bedding. Keep the worms in a dark and cool place until you are ready to use them.

SUMMARY:
Stick a pitchfork into the ground. Rock the pitchfork back and forth. Gather the worms. Store the worms.
