Summarize the following:
Insert the needle through the fabric from back to front. Begin at the bottom left edge of your intended stitch line, point A. Pull the needle and thread completely through until the end knot lies flat against the back of the fabric. Insert the needle through the front of the fabric at a point directly on top of A, point AA. As you look at the front of the fabric, A and AA should look like the same point. There needs to be a few threads separating them to prevent the stitch from falling out, though. Do not pull the needle and thread through this point yet. Only insert the tip of the needle for now. Slide the tip of the needle along the back of the fabric at a 45 degree angle. Insert it through the front of the fabric at a point lying to the upward diagonal left of AA. This new point will be point B. The space between AA and B will determine the width of your stitches. Unless otherwise noted, distance of 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) is usually a good choice. Do not pull the needle and thread completely through AA or B yet. Use your fingers to position the thread leading into AA underneath the tip of the needle coming out at B. A little line of thread should run parallel to the needle on its left side. The rest should be tucked beneath the needle, extending down from the needle's right side. Pull the needle and thread completely through to the front of the fabric again. Doing so should tighten the loop created in the previous step. The needle should now be free and lying along the front of the fabric. Note that the point of the loop comes together at A and AA. The rounded portion of the loop should lie to the immediate outside of B, and the thread should be coming out at B to the inside of the loop. Insert the needle through the fabric at a point that overlaps B. Label this point BB. As with A and AA, B and BB should only have a few threads separating them. Only insert the tip of the needle. Do not pull the entire needle through to the back of the fabric. Poke the tip of the needle back through to the front of the fabric at a 45 degree downward slant, bringing it out at point C. Point C should be horizontally even with A and AA. Do not pull the needle completely through BB or C yet. Create another chain link using the same procedure followed for the first chain. Your two chains should form one zigzag. Slide the thread underneath the tip of the needle coming out at BB, creating a wide loop in the process. Pull the needle and thread completely through to the front of the fabric, tightening the loop you just created. Continue making chains across the length of the row until you reach the end. Each chain should slant in the direction opposite the slant of the chain before and after it. Each chain stitch should be slanted at a 45 degree angle. Once you reach the end of the stitch row, insert the needle into the front of the fabric and out through the back. Tie a knot at the back of the fabric. To knot the thread: Insert the needle through the front and back of the fabric at a point directly next to your final insertion point. Before you draw the thread flat, draw the needle through the newly created loop two or three times. Draw the loop closed to create a secure knot.

summary: Poke the needle through to the front of the fabric. Insert the needle into the fabric at the same point. Poke through at a diagonal point. Pull the thread into a loop. Tighten the loop. Pierce the center of the loop. Bring the needle out at a slant. Repeat the chain procedure. Alternate the slant down the line. Knot the thread at the back of the fabric.

Summarize the following:
Many speeches only present two or three main points. First, define these main points. Then, spend the majority of the time diving into details, providing additional facts, and convincing the audience of your main points. Separating your speech into sections not only makes it easier to follow, but also makes it easier to remember! Storytelling is a great way to remember something because every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. If you lose your place, knowing the "story" of your speech can help you find it again! If possible, turn your entire speech into one story, and tell yourself you'll be telling this story to the audience. For example, if your speech is about diabetes, see if you can frame your speech so you follow a day in the life of someone with diabetes. If that doesn't fit your structure, try telling the life story of someone who got diagnosed, started treatment, and now lives with diabetes daily. Trying to memorize your speech word-for-word in a short period of time is nearly impossible! If you don't have much time, focus on memorizing facts, and organizing those facts into a logical flow. Once you get up onstage, transform those facts into sentences. For example, if you're giving a speech about flight patterns over the United States, memorize how many planes are in the air at any given time, what the largest airports are, and how much money the top 5 airlines make per year. Organize your memorized facts into a logical chronology, but don't worry about memorizing the exact sentence you need to say in order to present your information. If your speech topic contains many sub-topics, try associating each category of information with a single word or phrase. Then, when you get to a part of your speech, or if someone in the audience asks you a question, use that word to remember the relevant facts and information! For example, if you're giving a speech about the species in the Everglades National Park, organize your facts into various categories depending on the animal species. That way, when someone in the audience asks you about birds of prey in the Everglades, you can recall the relevant information quickly and present it smoothly. Give your speech to yourself in front of a mirror at least once before you present it to the public. This can help you notice if anything doesn't make sense or flow logically, and it can also help you start developing the hand gestures and posture you'll use during the speech. You might be nervous about giving a speech because you keep imagining something going wrong. If that's the case, work through what you might do if something did go wrong. Walk through how you might give your speech without your PowerPoint, or how you might find your train of thought if you lose it. For example, if you're worried that you'll lose your train of thought, spend some time running over your speech structure. That way, if you do actually lose your train of thought while giving your speech, you'll know what comes next, and you'll be able to get back on track!
summary: Separate your speech into sections. Turn your speech into a story. Memorize facts if you don't have much time to prepare. Organize your information into categories if you have to give a speech about a wide variety of topics. Practice in front of a mirror to smooth out any kinks. Create a contingency plan.
