INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some teachers overlook this area because most classes have a daily art project.  Daily projects are not enough!  Children need access to art not only for their own enjoyment but for development of fine motors, letters, and creative expression.  Scrap paper and crayons are the bare minimum, but don't be afraid to give them access to age-appropriate scissors, markers, and even watercolor paint.    {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a6\/Set-Up-a-Preschool-Classroom-Step-14.jpg\/v4-460px-Set-Up-a-Preschool-Classroom-Step-14.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/a6\/Set-Up-a-Preschool-Classroom-Step-14.jpg\/aid2905994-v4-728px-Set-Up-a-Preschool-Classroom-Step-14.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}  Try to limit the number of children allowed in the center at one time, or else it might get crazy. You may even want to set up a 1-2 person easel center for free painting.  This can encourage even the most stubborn child to practice letters and shapes. Children are, and should be, proud of their work. Having their projects on display is important to them and their families. Make sure each child displays at lest one piece of his or her work.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you haven’t cut into your ginger yet, then you can store it as-is on the counter or in your pantry. However, once you cut a piece off, you’ll need to cover up the exposed inside area in order to keep your ginger as fresh as possible. Simply tear off a small piece of aluminum foil and  wrap it around the exposed area. Then, put it back onto your countertop or in your pantry until you need to cut off another piece. If you plan on using all of your ginger within the week, it will stay fresh and flavorful if kept in the pantry. However, if you store it for longer, it may no longer taste good or be safe to consume. If you’re unsure, look at the ginger. Softness and moistness are the first major signs that indicate that your ginger is going bad, and it may begin to get moldy and inedible soon after this point. If you want to store your ginger at room temperature but you also want it to stay flavorful and safe to eat for a long time, buy it in these forms and keep it in the pantry. While ginger isn’t necessarily fresh in these forms, it should retain its flavor well for 2-3 years.

SUMMARY: Cover exposed fresh ginger with aluminum foil. Keep your fresh ginger in the pantry for up to 1 week. Store dried, ground, or crystallized ginger in the pantry for up to 3 years.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Poems are meant to listened to as well as read on the page. Take the time to read the poem aloud and pay attention to how the words sound. Notice if you connect with particular lines or words in the poem when you read it aloud. Try reading it aloud several times to deepen your understanding of it. Another way to make the poem come alive is to try to find a recording of the poet who wrote the poem reading their work. Poets often perform their poems when they read, making them feel more engaging and interesting. Look for recordings of the poem online or through the sound archives at your local library. Many modern poets have recordings of their work that is available for free. Try looking for a recording of the poem here: https://www.poetryarchive.org/ or here: https://www.nysoclib.org/collection/poets-reading-poetry. Look for poetry readings at local cafes or bars. Attend open mic nights that feature poetry. Check if a poet you like is performing at a venue in your area and go see them read. Live poetry readings are a great way to experience poetry as entertainment that you watch and listen to. You may make it a habit to go to live poetry readings regularly so you are exposed to different poets and their reading styles.

SUMMARY: Read the poem aloud several times. Listen to poets reading their own poems. Go to a live poetry reading in your area.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Focus on a healthy lifestyle and diet. There is plenty of room in the modeling world for short people, but there isn’t any room for models without work ethic. To keep a high level of work ethic and determination, you’ll need to be in good health. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.  Exercise at least twice a week. Limit the amount of alcohol and drugs you consume. Consume plenty of vegetables, grains, and eat organically as much as possible. Concentrate on your eyes, and learn how to project different emotions without moving the rest of your face. Follow other models on social media and see the range they can portray. Spend time in front of the mirror practicing different looks and body poses.  You should be able to portray an emotion if a photographer asks for it on the spot. Work on developing faces that express some of the quintessential emotions like being happy, sad, frustrated, confused, or awe-struck. Develop subtle and exaggerate versions of each emotion to widen your range as a model. Instead of going to modeling school and spending money, attend a convention full of agents and talent scouts. Do a quick search to find the closest one to you and prepare for the convention. Before going to the convention, bring several copies of both your portfolio and headshot. A credible convention you can attend is ‘’Faces West’’. This is a good convention for an aspiring model without an agent. If you market yourself properly, you find jobs that are seeking small and petite models. Some firms will hire you as a teen model, even if you're 25 years old because of your height and proportions. Some other avenues you can choose are body parts modeling and face/beauty modeling.  Evaluate what parts of your body you find the most appealing. For example, if you think you have above average feet, market them. If you are constantly being complemented for your eyes and beauty of your face, market your face as a platform for make-up modeling. Even after working as hard as you can, sometimes your height will truly limit your options. You need to seek out realistic jobs instead of striving for the runway. The runway is not as realistic for a model under 5'6. There is, however, plenty of other types of jobs doing commercial, catalog, and print based modeling. Strive for your goals as a model, but if certain avenues don't pan out, seek out more attainable jobs.

SUMMARY:
Increase the health of your body. Develop a range of faces. Attend a modeling convention. Become discovered as a short model. Be realistic in your pursuits.
