In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After you have finished writing your first draft, let it sit for a day, if you can. Return to it with fresh eyes and read it through from start to finish. As you read, briefly summarize the main argument of each paragraph. You can do this off to the side of the paper, on a separate sheet of paper, or as a comment in a word processing document.  Try to limit your summary to a sentence. You can also use a key phrase or a few keywords. If you’re having trouble summarizing the main idea, it could be a sign that your paragraph is wandering. Consider splitting your paragraph into two paragraphs so that you can devote one to each idea. Once you have completed summarizing the main idea of each paragraph, look at what you’ve written. Do the ideas progress logically? Do they seem to build on one another to create momentum for your argument? Or do they wander around?! You may need to consider moving paragraphs around. In some cases, you’ll even need to delete -- yes, delete! -- and rewrite sentences or even whole paragraphs. If you’re having trouble envisioning how to organize your term paper after you’ve written the first draft, it could be because you’ve been looking at it too long on your computer screen. Print out the draft and cut it up into its separate paragraphs.  Physically swap the paragraphs around. Do they make better sense in another order? In a strong term paper, each paragraph will build upon the previous one, so that there is only one ideal way to structure them for your argument. If you can swap the paragraphs around easily, you may need to hone your focus. Consider adding clearer transitions and topic sentences to help make stronger connections between your paragraphs. You’re probably dealing with a fairly long project, so it can help to revise your original outline to reflect the new order you’ve decided on. After you have done this, revise the term paper according to your new outline. After you’ve revised the term paper, double-check with the new outline to make sure that you have stuck with the structure you decided upon.
Summary: Reverse-outline your first draft. Examine this reverse outline. Cut your paper up by paragraph. Revise your outline.

When dry, place the tubers and stem into the crates and cover with a dry material. This dry material could include:  Sand. Shredded newspaper. Peat. Cover the plant and check every few weeks for signs of black or off-colored growth. This growth could indicate decay. A plant that is wilting and limpness is dehydrated.  If your plant is dehydrated, lightly mist the tubers with water until they are slightly moist. If you find any decayed parts of the plant, remove these damaged parts to give the remainder of the plant a better chance for recovery. A few weeks before the last frost move the tubers to a new workstation. Divide any large tubers now to give the new cuts a better chance of resisting mildew, rot, and fungus. Break the buds down until only one large bud remains in each section. Place each section of dahlia into a pot with fresh soil and fertilizer. Store the plant in a sheltered area out of direct sunlight. Once the leaves have formed and hardened off you can move the plant into direct sunlight or back to its original location before the winter.

One-sentence summary -- Place the tubers into crates. Check for signs of decay regularly. Divide your dahlias. Replant your dahlias in a pot with fresh soil.

Problem: Article: An easy way to paint in your stripes is to apply a base color to the entirety of the paper (retrace lines afterward, if necessary). Then, once your base coat has dried, you can paint different colored stripes over it.  To keep your lines clean when painting the stripes, try using painters tape on the borders.  Keep in mind that you should mark which stripe gets which color as it can get confusing. You can do this by dotting each line with the color it will take, or by marking them with bits of tape. This is a good method if you plan to paint each line a different color - or at least more than two. For example, if you want to alternate shades of blue, you could start with a light blue at the top and then paint each stripe a darker blue until the bottom. This would give you an ombré look. Make sure your lines are clearly marked so your colors don't run over and into each other. Depending on the thickness of your paint, this can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a half hour. Once it has dried, gently pull up the tape if you used any. You can also take the time to erase any remaining pencil marks from your original grid.
Summary:
Use a base coat. Paint each stripe separately. Wait for the paint to thoroughly dry.
