Write an article based on this "Note what was done right in the example: Write it up. Practice."
article: The speaker spent relatively little time on credentials or bragging. The speaker just said who he is and where he is from. "My name is  Peter Gibbons, I work at Initech as a manager in the IT department." Then quickly moved to into telling the audience why they are there. This is similar to the style found in the Teaching Seminar section. The speaker made an effort to engage the audience,"I am sure you are all familiar with". This is also similar to the style found in the Teaching Seminar section. The speaker told the audience quickly why the seminar is worth listening to. This was done by presenting a shared problem to be solved, "trying to balance productivity with employee morale" and promising a solution with his product, "Today I am going to share with you a new cover sheet system that can improve both productivity and morale." Setting up a problem you promise to solve is a method unique to the Persuasive Seminar style. Now that you have decided  you are giving a Persuasive Seminar and identified your goals, it is time to craft your own introduction. You can use the above example as an outline when writing your own. Of course you will have to customize it for your own unique background, qualifications and goals. Remember in your Persuasive Seminar self-introduction to emphasize your shared experiences and be sure to tell them early what problems you can solve for them. Once written, rehearse your introduction for friends or colleagues. Enlist their honest feedback before the big day. Rewrite and re-rehearse your introduction as needed based on feedback.

Write an article based on this "Start with the author's last name and first initial. Place the publication date in parentheses after the author's name. Provide the title of the article using sentence-case. Type the name of the newspaper in italics with the page number. Add the website URL or database, if applicable. Use the author's last name and the year for in-text citations."
article: If the newspaper article has more than one author, list them in the order they appear in the by-line, separated by commas. Type an "and" before the last author's name. The period after the initial also constitutes the closing period at the end of this section.  Example: Clark, K. If the article has no author, start your bibliographic entry with the title of the article in sentence-case. Capitalize only the initial word and any proper nouns. Put the year the article was published first, then type a comma. Provide the name of the month in unabbreviated form followed by the day. Close the parentheses and place a period immediately after.  Example: Clark, K. (2017, July 17). For articles with new author, put the date in parentheses after the title of the article. After the date, type the title of the article along with any subtitle. Only capitalize the first word and any proper nouns. Place a period at the end, or other punctuation as necessary. Example: Clark, K. (2017, July 17). Villains take over Gotham; Superman stays away. For print newspapers, include the section and page number after the name of the newspaper. The page number is not italicized. Place a period after the page number. If there is no page number, such as if you found the article online, place a period after the name of the newspaper. Example: Clark, K. (2017, July 17). Villains take over Gotham; Superman stays away. The Daily Planet, p. A1. Starting with the words "Retrieved from," let your readers know where you found the article. APA style only requires a URL for the newspaper itself, not a direct permalink to the article itself.  Database example: Villains take over Gotham; Superman stays away. The Daily Planet, p. A1. Retrieved from Collected DC News. URL example: Villains take over Gotham; Superman stays away. The Daily Planet, p. A1. Retrieved from http://www.dailyplanet.com In addition to a bibliography, APA style calls for parenthetical citations within your text whenever you either paraphrase or quote a source. If quoting directly, include the page number if possible.  Paraphrase example: (Kent, 2017) Direct quote example: (Kent, 2017, p. A1)

Write an article based on this "Check to see if your item can take the heat. Cover the patch. Iron the patch. Peel the patch off."
article:
Unless you added the patch yourself, you will first need to make sure your item won't be damaged by ironing it. Not all "iron on" patches are actually applied with heat.  Pick a small, inconspicuous part of the item not easily visible during normal use. Place wax paper or a thin dish towel on top of the area. Press down with a pre-heated iron on the small area you're testing. Hold it for about 15 seconds. Remove the iron and check for damage or discoloration on your item. If you are treating a delicate item, make sure the iron is on the proper setting. If you don't have experience ironing this type of fabric, the adhesive remover method is probably a better idea. Position your item so that the cloth part of the patch is exposed. Place either wax paper or a thin cloth towel directly over the patch. Make sure the covering is completely clean and free from any substance that could melt into the fabric of your item. Pre-heat your iron to its highest setting before use. Press your iron down on top of the paper/cloth where the patch would be. Hold it there for about 15 seconds. Remove the iron and the covering from your item. If the glue does not appear to have softened, apply the iron again. Keep adding heat until the adhesive melts. The heat from the iron should be enough to melt the glue and temporarily make it sticky. Lift the edge of the patch up and peel it off of your item.  Hold onto the item with one hand and peel with your other. You can use your fingers to do this, but be cautious, as the adhesive will be hot. If you have trouble lifting up the first part of the patch, try using tweezers or a butter knife. Tweezers will be able to slide between the patch and your item and grip the patch well. If you don't have tweezers, slip a butter knife between the patch and your item. Lift up to start the patch and remove the rest of it with your fingers. If the patch is large, you may have to make a few passes with the iron. Peel up large patches section by section.
