Q: Make sure you're well-balanced and comfortable. You'll be moving your feet for several minutes, and you don't want to strain your back. If you need to, shift so your weight is resting on the foot that's still on the ground. You may be more comfortable in a chair with arms, so you can use your hands to help support your weight. For this exercise, you'll be rotating your ankle in different directions until it cracks. Leave yourself plenty of room to move your foot around without running into the floor. By tracing the alphabet, you'll be forcing your ankle into a variety of different angles and movements that you might not normally perform. One of these motions may be just the thing to crack your ankle. Repeat the alphabet 1-3 times as necessary. If you want to crack both of your ankles, shift your weight in your chair, return the first foot to the floor, and lift the other foot. Even if your ankle doesn't crack, it's always a good idea to limber up both sides of your body evenly.
A: Sit in a chair so your feet don't touch the floor. Lift one leg into the air about 23in (5.17.6cm) off the ground. Trace the alphabet with your foot, leading with your big toe. Switch and repeat with the other foot.

Q: If you have to do certain activities during detention, try to take them seriously. While they may not seem fun, in comparison to sitting around with nothing to do, they may seem like a relief. Do not rush through activities and end up bored for the next 40 minutes. In detention, you may have to write down why you got in trouble. A teacher may ask you to reflect on your actions in an essay, for example. Try to do the best you can. Spend some time seriously considering the assignment. You may learn something from the required assignment. If you're in detention because you hurt a student or teacher's feelings, for example, it's important that you reflect on what you said. While doing homework may not seem like fun, it's a good way to pass the time. You may feel like you're having fun if you feel like you're being productive. Doing homework can give you a feeling of accomplishment, which can be enjoyable. Try to do assignment you'd be likely to put off at home. This way, when you finish detention you can relax and unwind. If the person supervising detention is a teacher, doing homework in that teacher's subject can be a good way to pass time. If your algebra teacher is supervising you, you'll be able to ask for his or her help if you're struggling with a math problem. You may not have homework to do during detention. However, there are other ways to be productive and make the time go by faster. Are any of your teachers offering extra credit? You could take your detention period as an opportunity to complete an extra credit assignment. You'll end up passing the time while earning additional points in your course. Do you have any goals you want to set for yourself? Detention could be a good to reflect on your goals. If you're in middle school or high school, you may want to start thinking about your future. Make plans for your education. If you want to get into a decent school, think about what you can do to increase your chances. What extracurricular activities would look good on an application, for example? Should you work on bringing your grades up in any subjects? Set dates for yourself. For example, if you're working on a short story, pull out a calendar. Plan to have a draft done by, say, the 15th of February. Then, plan to have that revised by the 8th of March.
A: Complete any required activities. Do your homework. Do extra credit. Set some goals for yourself.

Q: A standard size dog food can or a soup can are perfect. Remove the paper label, the can lid, and wash it clean with warm water. Dry before proceeding to the next step. They need to be long enough to wind around the can. Try not to touch the sticky ends, or get them dirty, otherwise the trap will not work. Press the duck tape tightly against the can with your hands. Give the duck tape a gentle rub in order to transfer the stickiness. The surface of the can will now be sticky. Gently touch the can to see how sticky it is. If it is not very sticky, repeat with new lengths of duct tape. Put the lid over the base of the flashlight. This will create a base for the flytrap. It is best if you can find a UV flashlight, as flies are mostly attracted to UV light. Sit the can upright so that all the stickiness is available to catch flies. Switch on the flashlight and place it into the can. Make sure that the flashlight is upright, and has new batteries in it. They'll be attracted to the light but get stuck on the sticky sides of the can. If you have successfully caught flies with the can, it is best to throw it away. Make sure to use a pair of gloves when you contact the can, so you do not have to touch the flies. It might be best to have a plastic grocery store bag ready to place the can in, before you throw it away in the trash.
A: Find a suitable can. Cut out lengths of duct tape. Wrap the lengths around the can. Remove the duct tape from the can. Tape a small flashlight to the underside of a can lid. Put the can outside at night. Wait for the flies. Replace the can.

Q: Teaching your dog to jump will be easier if it already knows how to follow other commands. If it can stay in a seated position, it'll be more likely to stay focused when you teach it a jump command. Hold a treat in front of your dog's nose and say "Sit!" Trace the treat towards the back of your dog's head to guide your dog into sitting down. If necessary, physically move your dog into the right position. Give your dog the treat as soon as it's in the right position, and repeat for about 20 minutes to reinforce the command. Use high value treats that your dog really likes when teaching it new tricks. Break treats into small, pea-sized pieces so you can give your dog plenty of rewards during a training session. Try popular high value treats like chunks of string cheese, hot dog pieces, or licks of peanut butter off a spoon. Only use small pieces of high value treats so that your dog won't gain weight. " Have your dog sit and show it a treat. Hold the treat about one to two feet (about half a meter) above its head. Introduce the command by saying "Jump!" If your dog seems confused or hesitant at first, you can try jumping yourself to demonstrate what you want it to do. Try putting the treat closer to your dog's face. As it reaches up for it, move the treat up and away while simultaneously saying "Jump!" Allow your dog to get the treat when it jumps up off of its front legs. Give it plenty of verbal praise to let it know how happy you are that it reached for the treat. Offer the treat and praise as soon as it gets up so it associates the action with the reward. Repeat the process until your dog consistently follows the jump command and gets onto its hind legs for a treat. Gradually increase the height at which you hold the treat until your dog has to jump off of all four legs to get the treat. Keep training your dog for 20 minute sessions at least once a day until it consistently jumps when you command. If your dog loses interest before the 20 minutes are up, give it a break and try again later.
A:
Teach your dog to sit. Break up high value treats into pea-sized pieces. Hold a treat above your dog's head and say "Jump! Reward your dog when it goes for the treat. Increase the height at which you hold the treat gradually.
