Article: Peonies are incredible plants, but they require deep root development before they can bloom. This means that fully-bloomed peonies will die if you plant them without giving the roots time to develop. Purchase peony roots in the fall so that you can plant them in 2-8 weeks before the first frost of the season. This will give the plants plenty of time to settle into the soil.  Peonies actually need a cold winter to grow and bloom. If you plant them in the spring or summer before exposing them to a cold winter, they may never grow. Peonies don’t do well when they’re transplanted to new locations. Take particular care when selecting a location for your flowers so that you get it right the first time. If you live in a slightly warmer part of the world, get tree peonies. They only require 100-300 hours of cold weather a year to adequately grow. You can’t grow peonies where you live if you don’t regularly experience near-freezing temperatures in the winter. Peonies require a lot of direct sunlight to reach maturity. Select a part of your garden that isn’t covered or under shade to ensure that your plants have plenty of access to the sun. Peonies will tolerate a little shade, but putting them under a tree or awning is a surefire way to keep your flowers from blooming. Peonies typically need 6-8 hours of sun a day.  You can grow peonies in a pot indoors, but peonies require a lot of sun and a lot room to grow. It is extremely difficult to keep peonies alive in an indoor pot and is not recommended. If you do want to plant peonies indoors, use a pot that is at least 1 ft (30 cm) deep and 1 ft (30 cm) wide for each plant. If you’re keeping your flowers indoors, put them next to an east-facing window so that they have adequate exposure to sunlight throughout the day. Peony roots will grow deep and wide. These flowers do not like to compete with the roots of other plants. Select a location in your yard where there are no other nearby plants or obstructions. Ideally, there should be no other plant or tree within 3–4 ft (0.91–1.22 m) of each of your peonies.  If you’re planting peonies that have already begun to bloom or flower, plant them in the early spring to ensure that they fully bloom before winter comes. Don’t stick the peonies in a totally isolated area, though. It’s good to have some shrubs, trees, or buildings nearby to break up the wind and protect your flowers from strong gusts. Peonies do best in well-draining soil. Avoid planting peonies in parts of your yard where water tends to pool or settle. If you’re using your native soil, look for sandy, looser sections of soil. If you don’t have the right type of soil in your yard, buy a well-draining planting soil from your local gardening store and use it to supplement the soil in your yard.  Peonies can do fine in clay soil so long as it isn’t too compacted. A mixture of bark, peat moss, and perlite will create a simple well-draining mix.

Article: Some of the questions require extreme precision and timing with your cursor or touch screen. If you're on a laptop, plug in a mouse instead of relying on your mouse pad. The game lets you earn "Skips" which can be used to skip some questions if you get stuck, but don't be tempted! It is impossible to beat the game unless you have all seven "Skips" unused on question 110 (the last question). A list of numbers is written on the screen on question 50. Write these numbers down, and be prepared to type them in on question 108.

Article: The first sentence of your concluding paragraph should restate your thesis. But you should not just restate your thesis. You should also say what the evidence you have provided has added to your thesis. For example, if your original thesis was, "Dogs used by the United States Marine Corps during WWII played a significant role in the Pacific theater,” then your restated thesis might be something like, “Dogs of all breeds and sizes had an important and honored role to play in WWII, especially in the Pacific theater.” Note that the second sentence repeats the information provided in your original thesis. It just says it in a new way while also hinting at the information you included in the body of the essay. Take one sentence to summarize each main piece of supporting evidence, as presented in your essay's body. You should not introduce any new information in your conclusion. Revisit your most compelling claims and discuss how they all support your main point. Use your last sentence to make a final statement about your topic. This last part of your final paragraph is your opportunity to say what should happen next. You can offer a solution or ask a new question about your topic.  Explain how the topic affects the reader Explain how your narrow topic applies to a broader theme or observation Call the reader to action or further exploration on the topic Present new questions that your essay introduced
