Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Advertise for the show. Use the internet. Create an information hotline. Use word of mouth.

Answer: You need to get the word out so you have an audience! There are many ways to advertise. Make fliers that let people know the time, date, and location of the show. Be sure to list the type of performers you will have to create excitement.  Advertise well in advance for you show so people can make plans to attend. If you know someone who is great at graphic design, then recruit them! This can be a very cost-effective way to make professionally designed flyers. Place flyers at local universities, performance spots, and coffee shops to attract not only an audience but performers as well.   If you are selling tickets, advertise where they can be purchased. If you are selling tickets ahead of time or online, be sure to include that information. Create a Facebook Page, Twitter, and Google+ account for your show. Send reminders amount the date and time. Highlight the performers to generate buzz. Find a local community member who is willing to build website for your show that provides all the details for the event. If you have enough funds, consider hiring someone for this purpose. This line will be used to answer any questions a performer or an audience member might have. Have volunteers answer the line. Make sure you set hours for the hotline so that the volunteers are no overworked. Tell everyone you know and encourage them to do the same. The more excitement you show, the more likely they are to tell others about your talent show. This is one of the very best, and most cost-effective, ways to advertise your talent show.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a colorful knee sock. Stuff the sock with polyester stuffing. Tie the end of the sock with a rubber band or piece of yarn. Tie more rubber bands around the sock to create segments. Glue googly eyes to the toe part of the sock. Add a face. Tie a pipe cleaner around the neck for the antenna. Shape the antenna. Decorate the caterpillar.

Answer: It can be any color or pattern you want, but make sure that it's clean. Striped socks work the best for this! You can also use a crew sock instead for a smaller caterpillar. Don't use an ankle sock, though. It won't be long enough. Consider using a soft, fuzzy sock for a fluffy caterpillar. If you can't find any, you can use cotton balls or scraps of yarn.  You can also use six 3-inch (7.62-centimeter) Styrofoam balls. If you are using Styrofoam balls, you may not fit all of them into the sock. Don't try to cram them in. If the sock was very long, you may still have some leftover. Cut the extra sock off so that you have a 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) stub. If you are using Styrofoam balls, leave enough space in the sock so that the balls can wiggle. You can also use pieces of colorful yarn instead. Plan on having about six segments. If you used Styrofoam balls, tie a rubber band/piece of yarn between each ball. Turn the sock caterpillar so that the toe part is facing you. Glue two googly eyes on top, right above the seam. Hot glue or tacky glue will work the best. You can also use a hot glue with an adult's help. You can use the seam on the toe part as a mouth. You can also draw your own mouth with a marker. If you want to, you can add some more details, such as rosy cheeks or eyelashes. For a silly caterpillar, glue a small pompom onto the face for the nose. For a rustic touch, use buttons instead of googly eyes. You can sew or glue them on. The neck is the first joint behind the head. Find the middle of a pipe cleaner, then place it under the caterpillar. Wrap both ends around the neck, then twist them together once or twice. Pull the antenna apart to make a V-shape. Curl each end downward with a pencil. You can also cut the antenna shorter and hot glue a mini pompom to the tips. You don't have to do this if you don't want to. Decorating the caterpillar will give it character and make it look more interesting. Here are some ideas:  Draw designs with markers or puffy paint. Sew or glue buttons onto the caterpillar to make spots. Make a small bow out of ribbon and glue it onto the caterpillar's head. Glue a pompom onto the tail-end to help hide the stub.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid scratching the bites. Use calamine lotion to soothe the affected skin. Apply hydrocortisone cream to your bites. Take an antihistamine after talking to your doctor. Take an oatmeal bath if a large area is affected.

Answer: Unfortunately, oak mite bites can be especially itchy. You can even develop a rash! However, scratching can break the skin, increasing your risk of a bacterial infection. If you do break the skin, you should see your doctor. Calamine lotion can help with itching, which gives you relief and helps limit scratching. Wash your skin and hands, then shake the bottle. Apply a small amount to a cotton swab and dab it onto the bites or rash. Continue to apply lotion until the entire affected area is covered. Let the lotion dry before putting on your clothing.  Talk to your doctor before applying calamine lotion on children under the age of 12. You should also speak to your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Be sure to follow all directions on the bottle, including dosage instructions. You can reapply the lotion every few hours, as needed. You can purchase 1% hydrocortisone cream over-the-counter. This will help with itching. Wash your hands and clean the affected area. Then rub a small amount of hydrocortisone cream into the bites or rash.  Use the smallest dose possible and wait at least 4 hours before reapplying the cream.  If the cream doesn't relieve your itch, you may need something stronger. Your doctor can prescribe a stronger treatment. Do not apply the cream to a child under the age of 12 without talking to a doctor. Make sure that you follow all of the directions on the bottle. An antihistamine can reduce the reaction that your body has to the bites. This can reduce the itching, redness, and possible rash. You can use an over-the-counter option, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or a non-drowsy alternative, such as cetirizine (Zyrtec) or loratadine (Claritin).  Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging, as they vary. For example, some antihistamines may be taken every 4 hours, but others are taken once a day. Talk to your doctor before taking an antihistamine, especially if you're already on medication. An oatmeal bath can soothe itchy skin, giving you all over comfort. Fill the bathtub with warm water, then add 1 cup (85 g) of ground old fashioned oatmeal or store-bought colloidal oatmeal. Soak for 10-15 minutes to see results. Rinse off the oatmeal after your bath.  It's best to only take one oatmeal bath per day, as the oatmeal can dry out your skin if you bathe in it for too long or too often. Dry skin will make your itch worse.  Colloidal oatmeal is finely ground oatmeal that is intended for bathing. You can find it online or at drugstores. Alternatively, you could use baking soda instead of oatmeal. Simply sprinkle about 1 cup (128 g) of baking soda into warm water.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide between positive and negative stencils.

Answer:
Before you go any further, you'll have to figure out which stencil you'll be using: the positive (white) or negative (black). Positive stencils are great for letters and outlines. They also give the appearance of your image being part of the background of your shirt. Negative stencils are better for figures and details. Negative stenciled images will appear to be in the foreground of your shirt.
