In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Somehow, racism doesn’t just go away by avoiding discussions about it. Yes, it may feel uncomfortable, but get some friends and classmates together and have an honest discussion about racism, what it looks and feels like, and how it affects your school. When you talk about racism, it actually helps with more understanding and more tolerance. Put some signs around your school and advertise a group discussion one afternoon after school. Encourage people to talk about their experiences, their fears, their biases or stereotypes. Allow the space to be safe and caring, where no questions are too silly to ask. Maybe you have a friend that’s from a different country and hate seeing her treated unfairly. “But I’m from the majority group, what can I do?!”  You can be an ally. Use your position as someone in the majority to reach out to people that may not know better or that choose to make hurtful comments. Being an ally means you use your position to help others. If someone says something to your friend, stand up for your friend in that moment and say, “It’s not okay to say things like that; that’s racist.” You can start a club at school that encourages students to have friendships with students from other countries. More and more  schools participate in programs like this. Ask your teachers and school leadership to help you connect with students in other countries. It can be exciting to learn from other students your age about their way of life, what they eat, what they do for fun, and where they live. While some things may be really different, lots of things are likely similar. Immerse yourself in all things that celebrate cultural diversity. Often racism is rooted in misunderstanding or not bothering to take the time to learn. So, read books about Kwanzaa, Ramadan, and Chinese New Year. Read books and watch movies about kids living in other countries. Is there a new kid at school from Peru? Go up to her and talk to her. Ask her questions about her own culture and how it’s different. Meet as many people from as many places as you can. Even when traditions are different from your own, be respectful. If someone is telling you about a custom, refrain from saying, “Ewww!” or “That’s weird.” Remind yourself that it’s different, and that’s okay.
Summary: Discuss race. Be an ally. Have international friendships. Educate yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pick a quiet day when you have the whole kitchen to yourself and clear your schedule. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to take an entire day for cooking, break the task into 2 half-days. Have a friend or family member help out with the cooking, if possible. It’s going to be a lot of work, but you’ll enjoy the benefits all month long! Check each recipe for prep and cook times so you can factor in how many hours of work you’ll need to put in on cooking day. Go shopping early in the day, since your shopping list is probably pretty long and if you rush, an ingredient can easily be forgotten. Shopping the day before is also helpful for dishes that include vegetables, since they’ll be fresh and crisp when you prepare them. Look for sales and use coupons to cut down on your grocery costs.  Keep in mind that you’re buying enough food for a whole month, so the price may be a little higher than what you’re used to if you typically shop weekly. Make sure you have enough pots, pans, baking dishes, and measuring spoons for the big day! You may also need to stock up on airtight containers, freezer bags, aluminum foil, and other storage items. The amount of time it takes you to prepare ingredients for your meals will vary depending on what you’re making, but you can expect about 3 hours’ worth of meal prep work. If you get the chopping, defrosting, marinating, and so on done the day before, you can focus on mixing, assembling, and cooking each meal on cooking day.  For example, if you need chopped onions for a recipe, chop them up and store them in an airtight container in your fridge. When you’re ready to cook, all you have to do is open the container and dump the onions in. You don’t have to do prep work the day before. If you want to do it on cooking day, don’t forget to factor in an extra 2-3 hours of work time. Some dishes can be worked on simultaneously, so take advantage of that if you can. For example, you can stir-fry meat on the stove while you bake a casserole in the oven and simmer a stew in the slow cooker. It’s usually best to get the harder meals out of the way first, but you can approach the sequence however you’d like.  Decide on the sequence before you get started to help you stay focused and organized. You may need to use multiple timers to keep track of different cook times when you’re cooking dishes simultaneously. You may need to adjust cooking times accordingly when doubling or tripling recipes.

SUMMARY:
Schedule a day to devote entirely to cooking. Shop for ingredients the day before you plan to cook. Get the prep work done the day before you cook. Work on multiple recipes at once to save time.
