Problem: Article: Visit a local nursery and browse different hens and chicks varieties. They come in a variety of looks and colors. Some can be blue, green, or pinkish. When planting hens and chicks plants, it is best to grow them from cuttings rather than seeds.  It takes a very long time to sow seedlings, and the seeds are very rare and tough to find. To find a nursery near you, search online. Hens and chicks look the best when they receive ample sunlight for most of the day. The sun makes their colors look more vibrant, and they grow at a faster rate. Choose a sunny spot in your garden, or select a sunny location to place your containers. They should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day.  You can place your containers on your patio or deck, for example. Hens and chicks look great when planted in rock gardens, as edging borders, and along wall crevices. If you plant your hens and chicks in a shady spot, they will turn solid green rather than tinted blue or purple. It is important to always use very well-draining soil when planting hens and chicks either in containers or in garden beds. Take a bucket or bin, and pour in 1-2 bags of organic potting soil. Then, mix in around 2-4 cups (473.2-946.4 g) of pea gravel or sand. Mix all of this together using your hand or a garden tool.  This mixture does not have to be precise. You can use more gravel if you'd like. Gravel and sand helps your soil drain well, so your plants can stay as healthy as possible. When selecting your potting soil, look for a type advertised as well-draining, and select an organic variety. Hens and chicks look great in your outdoor garden! Before you plant them, it is best to break up the soil. Use a rake if planting across a large area, or use a garden spade if planting in a section 3–4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) or smaller. Then, line your garden bed with a 2–4 in (5.1–10.2 cm) even layer of your soil mixture so your garden can adequately drain. This freshens up the soil, so you can easily make room for the “hen” and plant the “chicks.” You can use any size container to plant your hens and chicks. If the container does not have drainage holes already, use a drill to create small 2-7 holes around the bottom and sides of the pot. Once you have your container, fill it up to the top with your soil mixture.  You can use a basic drill bit to create your holes. The size does not matter, as long as there are several holes to drain any excess water. Purchase your containers from most garden supply or home supply stores. You can use a garden spade to help you scoop it into the container, if you'd like.
Summary: Purchase hens and chicks cuttings from a local nursery. Choose a home for your hens and chicks with partial to full sunlight. Mix together potting soil and gravel or sand to ensure proper drainage. Till a space in your garden with your soil mixture if planting outdoors. Fill a well-draining pot with your soil mixture if planting in containers.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a large mixing bowl. Pour in a ½ cup of water (118 ml). Add 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. Stir until the yeast dissolves. First, use your microwave or stovetop to melt a ½ cup of butter (118 ml). Then, in a second mixing bowl, add the butter, 2 cups of milk (473 ml), and 1 teaspoon of salt. For sweeter waffles, also add 2 tablespoons of sugar if desired. Stir until the ingredients are evenly mixed. First, allow the second bowl’s contents to cool down until it is lukewarm at most. Then pour them into the first bowl with the yeast and water. Stir until they have combined evenly. Once the two liquid mixtures have been combined, add 3 cups of all-purpose flours (384 g). Mix the flour vigorously to form a dough. Continue until no dry flour remains. Seal the bowl with an airtight lid or plastic wrap. Then let it sit as is overnight. Expect the dough to double or triple in size during that time. Once the dough has risen, beat or whisk two eggs until their consistency is even. Pour these into the batter, then add a ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk or beat them the new ingredients into the dough until they have mixed evenly. Line the inside of your waffle iron with a thin layer of vegetable oil to keep your batter from waffles from sticking. Then preheat the iron to its optimum temperature. Scoop an eighth of your dough into the iron for each waffle. Cook for about four minutes. Waffle irons’ temperatures may differ from one model to the next. Add or subtract minutes as needed.

SUMMARY: Mix yeast with water. Combine butter, milk, and salt separately. Combine the two bowls. Add flour. Let the dough rise. Add eggs and baking soda. Make your waffles.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you’re integrating the citation into the text you’re writing, you’ll need the author’s name. There are quite a few ways to do this, and how you do it will depend on your own personal preference and the tone of your paper. For example, you could say something like “According to Smith...” or “Smith argues that the study of history...” Regardless of how you incorporate the author’s name in your text, it needs to be followed immediately by the year you use on your reference page. This lets your reader know immediately which source you’re talking about. For example, you would write “According to Smith (2013),” or “Smith (2013) argues that the study of history...” If you’re citing directly from the syllabus, set that information apart with quotation marks. This lets your reader know that these words aren’t yours, but the author’s.  For example, you could write: According to Smith (2013), the study of history is “fundamental to understanding the present.” If you’re using your own words instead of the author’s, you don’t need quotation marks. So you might write “According to Smith (2013), we can only understand the present if we understand history.” Once you’ve cited the part of the syllabus you need, end the citation with the page number or numbers where the citations can be found. The page number should set apart by parentheses, a lower case p, followed by a period. Your citation might look like this: “According to Smith (2013), the study of history is “fundamental to understanding the present” (p. 4).
Summary: Mention the author’s name in the text. Include the year cited on the reference page immediately after the author’s name. Set off direct quotes with quotation marks. End the citation with the page number or numbers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can make the sail of your kite from several different materials. Decide what look you want for your kite. Some materials can be decorated to make your kite unique. You can use any of the following:  Heavy duty garbage bag Lightweight paper Lightweight fabric Newspaper Plastic bag You should have all of your tools and materials gathered in one place before you start a project.  Material for the sail Scissors Strong tape Lay the kite frame down on the sail material, and trace a slightly larger kite shape. The outline of the kite should be 1 to 2 inches bigger than kite frame. Use the scissors to cut out the kite shape on your sail material. Fold the edges of the sail over the string on the frame and secure it with strong tape. Reinforce the top and bottom of your kite. Use tape to reinforce the top and bottom tips of your kite by placing 1 to 2 extra pieces of tape across them.
Summary:
Pick material to make the sail from. Get together all the materials needed to create the sail. Cut the sail of the kite. Attach the sail to the kite frame.
