Problem: Article: Cut a skinny strip out of white crepe paper or tissue paper. Fold it in half several times, then cut a long, skinny petal shape out of it. This should give you several petals. Repeat this step until you have about 20 to 24 petals. Have the petals taper into a skinny tab at the bottom so that you can secure them more easily. If you used crepe paper, you can gently pull the petals apart at the center to widen them. If you used tissue paper, you can fold the petals over a toothpick or skewer lengthwise to create a slight crease. Make the petals more realistic by cutting a notch into the tip Begin by cutting a 1 to 2-inch (2.54 to 5.08-centimeter) tall rectangle from green tissue paper or crepe paper. Next, cut a jagged, grass-like fringe into one of the long edges. This will make the base of the daisy and help cover up the bottom part of the petals. Plan on making the rectangle about 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) long. You can always trim it down later if it's too long. Begin by folding a piece of green tissue or crepe paper in half. Cut a half-oval out of it, then cut notches into the curved edge of the oval. Unfold the oval to reveal your leaf. You can make as many leaves as you want. 2 to 3 would be ideal, however.
Summary: Cut petals out of crepe paper or tissue paper. Shape the petals further, if desired. Cut a jagged fringe from green paper for the flower base. Cut some leaf shapes, if desired.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will be placing the finished haystacks onto this. Place a large saucepan on the stove, and add in the sugar and corn syrup. Turn the heat to low/medium and wait for the sugar to dissolve. Stir the mixture often with a spatula so that it does not burn or scorch. Keep stirring until everything is smooth and melted together. Don't worry, the mixture will harden again once it cools. You will finish making your haystacks here. Try to use a rolling motion, so that you are always bringing the mixture from the bottom of the pot to the top. Be sure to stir gently, so that the cereal does not break. Try to use a cereal without any added "frost" or sugar glaze. Don't worry about making the cookies neat; haystacks don't look very neat either. You can make the cookies as big or as small as you'd like. This recipe is enough to make about 24 cookies. This will take about 1 to 2 hours. If you are in a hurry, then place them into the freezer for about 10 minutes.

SUMMARY: Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Melt the sugar and corn syrup in a large saucepan over low to medium heat. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract. Take the saucepan off the stove, and set it down onto a heat-resistant surface. Stir in the cornflakes cereal. Scoop the mixture out onto the baking sheets using a spoon. Put the tray into the fridge so that the haystacks can cool and harden. Transfer the haystacks to a plate to serve them, and store any leftovers in an airtight container.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The introduction is a very important part of an essayperhaps the most importantbecause it orients your reader and explains your argument. For the first draft, however, don't agonize over it. You just need to begin writing. The introduction doesn't have to be perfect in the first draft, because you can come back and edit it later. Get something down, and it will help you move confidently forward. When you are pressed for time, don't worry too much about writing a creative introductionjust try to write one that is clear and focused. If you have time left at the end, you can come back and try to improve it. A simple but effective plan is to make sure that your introduction states your essay's thesis, and gives an overview of what the subsequent paragraphs or sections will discuss. Your outline will help you do this. A simple version of this would look something like "In this essay, I will first describe X, before moving on to Y and Z. Then, I will explain the relationship between X,Y, and Z, demonstrating that [insert thesis statement here]." Take the writing of the essay bit by bit, following the outline you made. This will keep your writing on track, and keeping your plan in mind will encourage you to keep going. If you're wavering between describing Shakespeare as a "great" writer, or "the greatest," for example, just pick one for now and move on.You'll be able to deal with such things when you do a final read-through of the essay. When time is short, you will write more productively, and keep your morale up, if you keep pushing through with more writing. Cite any works you use as a reference or for quotations. If you are quoting another work, cite it according to the style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) your instructor wants you to use. Even if you are just paraphrasing a work, you should cite it. If you don't properly cite your sources, you are plagiarizing. As a rule of thumb, if you got an idea or information from a source outside of your own head, you should cite it. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/fc\/Write-a-Last-Minute-Essay-Step-15-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Write-a-Last-Minute-Essay-Step-15-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/fc\/Write-a-Last-Minute-Essay-Step-15-Version-2.jpg\/aid202072-v4-728px-Write-a-Last-Minute-Essay-Step-15-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} It is far easier to cite while you are writing than to go back and try to add in citations after you have written your paper. Keep up with them as you go. While you have to work quickly, take a short break from writing now and then, especially if you get stuckjust don't get distracted and take too long. Some prefer to take scheduled breaks, by setting a timer or watching a clock. Others prefer to take a break after reaching a convenient stopping point, such as the end of a paragraph or page. Whatever method you choose, make a note of where to pick back up when you return to writing. Take a breath, get up, have a drink or snack. By taking a short break, you're not wasting timeyou're actually helping yourself write more efficiently by clearing your head and relieving stress.
Summary:
Begin with the introduction. Follow your outline. Don't get caught up worrying about word choice, spelling, etc. Pace yourself.
