INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pull your socks up all the way up so that they sit just below your knees, and button the shirt from the bottom so that it's ready to tuck in. These two garments will provide the base for the shirt staysthe rest of your ensemble can stay in the drawer for now. Shirt stays resemble miniature suspenders. The two-armed end is designed to hold the bottom edge of a dress shirt, while the longer end runs down to your socks. Fasten the two small clips on the "Y" end of the stay to the shirt's hem about 5 inches (13cm) apart. Do the same on the opposite side. The shorter straps should rest on either side of your hip bones, with the longer strap reaching down the length of your leg. If your shirt stays have sliding clips, make sure the button side is inserted all the way into the metal frame. Give the clip a light tug to test whether it's secure. Be careful not to let the fabric of the shirt bunch up between the straps. Pull the longer straps down and fasten them on the outsides of your legs. The stays will cause your shirt tail and socks to pull towards each other, creating a little tension in both directions. Not only will this keep your shirt from riding up, it will also keep your socks from falling down! If you find that the clips keep slipping off your socks, try folding the tops of the socks down about an inch to create a sturdier anchor point. Shirt stays tend to be a one-size-fits-all accessory, so anyone can wear them with confidence. However, you may need to shop around for stays with adjustable straps if you're well above average height or have particularly long legs. Pull your pants on over your shirt, then button and belt them. Make any last-minute adjustments to the fabric around your waistline as needed. Your shirt should stay tucked in while you get the rest of your outfit together, and throughout your busy afternoon. Move around a little to test your range of motion. Every time you bend or lift your arms, the stays will draw your shirt tail right back into place. When worn correctly, shirt stays should be comfortable, unobtrusive, and invisible. Keep in mind that it may be necessary to unclip your shirt stays when it comes time to use the restroom.

SUMMARY: Put on your dress shirt and socks. Attach one end of the shirt stays to the bottom of the shirt. Secure the other clip to the top of your sock. Finish getting dressed.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Make a fire with your magnifying glass in a location where the fire cannot burn anything else but tinder. Suitable places include a cement sidewalk, an area of dirt with no vegetation surrounding it, or a bricked in fire hole. If you are in the forest don't have a clear area nearby, you can use the side of your foot to sweep leaves and pine needles off of a patch of soil, and then light the fire on the dirt. If you're simply experimenting with the power of the magnifying lens, you can extinguish the fire as soon as the tinder has started to flame. Or, if you're building a fire in a survival setting, extinguish the fire one you've finished cooking your meal or heating your campsite. To extinguish the fire, use a shovel to place 4-5 shovelfuls of dirt on the fire. Then douse it with water from a hose or bucket. Once the fire is out, use your shovel to turn over any smoldering coals and douse them again with water. Make sure that the fire is fully extinguished.

SUMMARY: Choose a safe location to light a fire. Put the fire out as soon as it's served its purpose.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to learn the moves, it's best to practice slowly, counting the beats out loud while going through the motions. By taking the time to learn slowly, you'll have an easier time remembering the moves later on. If you're new to the Cotton Eyed Joe dance and want to join in at a dance party, watch the first few rounds of the dance before joining. The dance repeats for the entire length of the song, so you'll have plenty of time to join in after watching and getting the hang of the moves from the sidelines. You can also find videos of people doing the Cotton Eyed Joe on YouTube. Spend some time listening to the Cotton Eyed Joe song and try to remember which counts of the dance line up with specific words in the chorus. If you get lost during a round of the dance, you'll be able to listen to the song to help you find your place. The chorus of the song is 16 beats, and is the same length as one round of the Cotton Eyed Joe dance. The final hook, "Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton Eyed Joe?" lines up with your final 8 counts of the dance, where you will be moving from side to side. The Cotton Eyed Joe is a long song, and it is most common to see people join in on the chorus. When you're new to the dance, try performing the moves during the chorus so that you'll have lots of other people to blend in with. If you get lost or forget the moves along the way, wait for the top of the chorus ("If it hadn't been for the Cotton Eye Joe, I'd been married a long time ago...") to start the dance over again. During the rest of the song, feel free to keep performing the Cotton Eyed Joe dance, or dance in any other way you please! Once you get the moves down, try adding tiny jumps on your left foot as you perform the first stationary toe-tap moves. Bounce on your right foot when you lead with your left foot. The bouncing will help make the moves look and feel more upbeat.

SUMMARY:
Practice the moves slowly at first. Watch other people perform the dance. Learn how the dance moves line up with the song lyrics. Join in on the chorus. Add a bounce on your left foot for the first eight counts of the dance.
