Summarize the following:
Draw the shape of a leaf onto some large pieces of green felt. Instead of leaving a vertical strip for the stem, make an attached horizontal strip instead. This will be used to make a cuff for attaching to the arm. Cut out the pattern that you made. You may also want to paint some veins onto the leaf or add other touches, like a painted or plush ladybug. You'll need to cut out a square of velcro and glue or sew it onto the cuff. Make sure it is at a size that it fits where you want it to go. Around the elbow is best. Make one or two for each arm and put them on when you're done.

summary: Make your pattern. Cut out and complete your leaf. Add some velcro. Put on your leaves.

" This word is literally translated as "impressive" but, it is often used in the same way "awesome" is used in English. This is a useful word to memorize because it's used across the whole Spanish-speaking world.  This word is pronounced "eem-pdess-ee-oh-NON-tay." The second-to-last syllable gets the stress (as in many Spanish words).  Be sure to use an English e sound (as in "tea") for each i. The r gets a very quick, delicate sound made by flicking the tongue against the roof of the mouth. This is a lot like the English d sound (as in "ladder"). You'd use this word as an adjective to describe something that left you dumbstruck. For example: "La película fue asombrosa" ("The movie was amazing"). This word is pronounced "ah-sohm-BDO-so" or "ah-sohm-BDO-sa" depending on whether the word is masculine or feminine. Here, again, we're using the d-like Spanish r sound. Be sure also to use the long o sound (as in "oats") for every o in the word. You can use this as an adjective like "asombroso," but you can also use it by itself as an interjection like "wow!" For example, if someone tells you an unbelievable story, you might simply say, "¡increíble!" This word is pronounced "een-cday-EE-blay." Note that the accent mark over the second i puts the stress on this syllable. This is another word you'd mainly use as an adjective. For example, a massive painting from your favorite artist at the museum might be "una pintura imponente" ("an impressive painting"). This word is pronounced "eem-poe-NEN-tay". Note that the second-to-last e gets a short e sound (as in "red") while the last one gets an a sound (as in "ray"). " as an interjection. This is something you can say when you'd normally say "wow!" or "awesome!" in English. It's an all-purpose interjection — use it for anything you find especially cool! This word is pronounced "ON-dah." Be sure to stress the first syllable, which is pronounced like the English word "on" (not "own").

summary: Use "impresionante. Use "asombroso" for "amazing". Use "increíble" for "incredible". Use "imponente" for "impressive". Use "¡Anda!

Grading can vary wildly, depending on the subject, college, teacher, and the country you are in. However, a good quality program will have standards that both staff and students adhere to. The professors access the quality of your work based on certain criteria, which should be made clear at the beginning of the course. This does not mean that no appeal is possible, but by and large your responsibility is to meet the standard.  Unless the professor made a glaring error while grading your assignment or determining your course grade, they are unlikely to change your grade. It is also important to remember that grades are earned, not given. You do not earn a grade based on how hard you work, but rather how well you have mastered the material and followed the guidelines for the assignments. Unfortunately, you do not get bonus points for effort. In most cases, it is not worth your time or energy to attempt to get a professor to change your grade. The process will suck up valuable time, which can be better spent on future assignments and your other coursework. Before approaching your professor, think about whether it is worth the hassle. It’s important that you go over the course syllabus in detail before approaching your professor about the grade you earned. Carefully read every word of the syllabus, paying specific attention to the sections on assignments and how your grade is calculated.  For example, if you turned in the assignment late, you should consult the syllabus about the professor’s late assignment policy. This might explain why you earned a particular grade. This will also indicate to your professor that you read instructions and are thorough. You don't look great when the answer to your question is in bold in the syllabus! Before you approach a professor about changing your grade, you need to make sure you followed instructions for the assignment in question. Look over the assignment instructions and carefully consider each part of them. Not following instructions is often the reason you did not earn the grade you expected. For example, if the assignment instructions say to turn in a 5-page paper and you only turned in 2 pages, it might explain your grade.
summary: Understand the grading process. Decide if it’s worth your time and energy. Review the course syllabus. Make sure you followed the assignment instructions.
