Problem: Article: Place the base of the blade in the slit of a magnetic holder, so the sharp edge of the blade extends past the magnet edge. This will make it easier to sharpen the blade without cutting yourself or dropping the blade.  A strong, flat magnet may work instead. Sharpen slowly if using this device, to prevent the blade from falling off the magnet and potentially nicking you. Sharpen both blades using the steps below, one at a time.
Summary: Use a magnet holder to pick up a blade (optional).

Problem: Article: A good way to reach a potential convert is to present Bible passages that they can read and work through. The participants should learn which Bible passages are good for evangelizing and how they can show others the value of the Bible through the passages. Bring in a few example passages that you feel are useful for reference when evangelizing.  For example, you may use passages from the Gospel that invite the reader to seek salvation in Jesus Christ, such as Luke 10:25-28, Matthew 4:17, or Matthew 11:28-30. You can also use passages from the Letters from Paul that focus on invitations to faith, such as Romans 10:9-10, Romans 10:13, and Acts 16:30- 31. Have participants do a deep dive into the Bible to identify passages that they feel would be inviting to potential converts. Ask them to look at passages that explain the meaning of faith in a powerful way. Have participants discuss why they were drawn to a particular passage with the rest of the group so everyone can learn together. You may assign this as homework for participants so they can spend some time reading and choosing passages. Encourage participants to find deeper meaning by asking them to express what the passage means to them. Have them explain the passage using their own language and understanding. This can help them better explain the passage to potential converts when they evangelize. For example, you may ask participants, “What does the passage mean to you as a person of faith?” and “How would you explain the meaning of this passage to someone outside the faith?” Understanding the teachings of the Bible is crucial to learning how to evangelize effective. You may ask participants to take time in the session to pray on specific passages in the Bible so they can connect in a more meaningful way. This may be a good way to wrap up a training session or open a training session to get participants focused on Biblical study.
Summary: Discuss passages that address evangelism. Encourage participants to find passages that discuss evangelism. Have participants explain a passage in their own words. Ask participants to pray on specific passages to find deeper meaning.

Problem: Article: When you’ve finished your first draft of your paper, step away from it for at least a little while. Waiting to revise for a day or two is ideal, although that may not be possible under a deadline. Getting your mind away from your essay is beneficial in that it allows you to come back at it with a fresh perspective. You’ll see errors and areas for expansion that you never would have considered before. This is another reason why it is best to not procrastinate when writing an essay of this type. You will need ample time to complete the process in a patient way in order to create your best possible work. As soon as you know that you’ll need to write an essay it is a good idea to approach a friend or classmate and ask them to spend a bit of time looking over your rough draft. Before you hand over your draft it is a good idea to let you reader know if there are any particular ‘trouble areas’ that you would like them to focus on. You might say, “Please focus on the word choice as that is a weakness of mine.” Once you’ve given your paper some down time and had another person look it over you will then need to start the personal revision process. Find a quiet place where you can sit down and closely read over your essay word-by-word. Look for both macro (large, major) and micro (smaller, details) issues and make these changes.  Some people find it helpful to print out your paper at this point and make your revisions on a hard copy. This can also protect you in the event that you experience any computer troubles. One strategy is to split your revisions into two parts: one revision for grammar and spelling and another to examine the organization and content of your paper. When you are writing a ‘split’ topic essay, such as a compare/contrast or cause/effect, it is particularly important to make your transitions clear and obvious to the reader. This will signal to your reader that you are switching from one area to another. Good transition words include, “therefore,” “consequently,” “thus,” and many others.
Summary: Leave it alone. Ask a friend to read it. Read it again and revise. Pay attention to the transitions.

Problem: Article: Fantasy stories can include a lot of twists and turns, so outlining the general direction of the story can be helpful. Use bullet points to draft the order of the main events in your story. This makes it far quicker and easy to write out your story. You can use headings and subheadings to help break up your outline. Headings are traditionally marked by Roman numerals and subheadings are marked by lower case letters or numbers. For example, "I. Introduce Ramona, a. Ramona is in the fields working, b. She is interrupted by the spirit of her Aunt Jean." Introduce the central problem early on in your story, as this helps to propel your hero into the conflict and eventually allows them to overcome it. For example, Katniss Everdeen volunteers as tribute in the beginning of Hunger Games and Buffy Summers realizes she has to accept her duty as slayer when her friends are attacked by vampires.. In many fantasy stories, the character leaving home is the turning point. Maybe your character needs to go on a journey. For example, your character could receive news that their mother, who lives in another country, is ill. She has to travel across a desert, smuggling the medicine that's banned in their mother's home across the border. Each event in the story should help to develop your hero. Use each event and conflict to test your hero's strengths, skills, and special talents. These skills will eventually be used to help overcome the villain.  Pay attention to how this occurs in your favourite fantasy stories. What trials and tribulations does Harry Potter face that help him accept his destiny as the boy who lived? How does Katniss come to accept she has to lead the revolution? Script multiple mini-conflicts in the lead up to the climax to test your character's strength and helping her use her skills and powers. For example, your character may have to deal with rival smugglers when she attempts to steal medicine. Create a climax for your story. This normally includes the hero overcoming the villain. Try to tie up emotional loose ends as well, as your audiences will want to see characters grow emotionally during the progression of the story. For example, your character may be reunited with their parents and thus be healed of their abandonment issues. A fantasy story can have a happy or sad ending. You can end with the hero winning or losing. You can also end with a partial victory where some evil has been defeated, but there are still unresolved conflicts. This can be particularly useful if you want to write a sequel, as there will still be challenges left for your hero to face.
Summary:
Outline your story to help you craft it accurately. Introduce the central problem. Develop the hero's story with mini-conflicts. Choose an appropriate ending to finish your story.
