INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Think about everything that happened that day and record any highlights or feelings that stand out to you. Even if you had a pretty standard day, you might be surprised by deeper thoughts and feelings that come up as you write down details about your day. Feel free to veer off into any topic you want as you're writing about the day's events. For example, you could write about the English exam you took at school that day. Are you feeling good about the exam? Do you wish you had studied more? Are you nervous to receive your grade? Make a list of your short-term and long-term goals. Then, go through each item on the list and write in detail about your plan to accomplish the goal. Breaking each goal up into smaller tasks that you can work on can make your goals feel less overwhelming. For example, you could write about short-term goals like studying for your algebra exam or hitting the gym for a cardio session. Long-term goals would be stuff like choosing and applying to colleges or saving up money to buy a car. Don't worry about providing any context for your emotions, just focus on accurately describing what they are. You can then use those feelings and thoughts as prompts for creating detailed diary entries. Work on one thought or emotion at a time and explore it as fully as you can. For example, if you're feeling sad, you can write a diary entry about why you feel that way and any events that may have contributed. Inspirational quotes can come from anywherea famous person, your favorite book or movie, or even a friend or a family member. Any quote you find inspiring is a great starting point. Record the quote in your diary and note where it came from. Then, explain what it means to you in your own words. For example, you might write down a quote like, "The secret of getting ahead is getting started," which came from Mark Twain. Write a diary entry about what this means to you and what things you need to get started on to achieve certain goals. Make a list of topics that you love or your favorite hobbies. You might love movies, sports, food, travel, art, or fashion. The subjects can be anything you want, as long as they interest and inspire you. Then, choose one item from the list and create a diary entry about it. For example, if you love sports, write about why you love a certain sport, your favorite teams, and personal goals you have if you play any sports yourself. If you love painting, you could write about your favorite painters, the painting styles that speak to you the most, recent paintings you've made, and ideas for future paintings.

SUMMARY: Write about the events of your day. Contemplate your goals for the future and how to achieve them. Jot down your current feelings or mood. Write down inspirational quotes and what they mean to you. Explore your favorite subjects or hobbies in-depth.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Unless you want guests to reply by telephone or through a wedding website, it's best to include a physical card that guests can mail back in response to the invitation. To encourage people to respond by mail, make it as easy as possible by providing pre-printed envelopes so they don't even have to address the RSVP themselves. The return address should be the name and address of the hosts, and not necessarily the bride and groom. For couples who do register with a wedding website, guests can RSVP immediately online. However, it's important to mention specifically on the invitation or RSVP card that guests must visit that site for more information.

SUMMARY: Include an RSVP card. Pre-print the response envelopes with the hosts name and address. Direct people to your wedding website.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you decompose a number into its various addends, you are breaking that number apart into different sets of other numbers (addends) that can be added together to get the original value. When one addend is subtracted from the original number, the second addend should be the answer you get. When both addends are added together, the original number should be the sum you calculate. This practice is easiest to do when you have a single digit number (a number that only has a "ones" place). You can combine the principles learned here with those learned in the "Decomposing into Hundreds, Tens, and Ones" section when you need to decompose larger numbers, but since there are so many possible addend combinations for larger numbers as a whole, this method would be impractical to use alone when working with large numbers. To decompose a number into its addends, all you need to do is write down all of the different possible ways of creating the original problem number using smaller numbers and addition. Example: Decompose the number 7 into its different addends. 7 = 0 + 7 7 = 1 + 6 7 = 2 + 5 7 = 3 + 4 7 = 4 + 3 7 = 5 + 2 7 = 6 + 1 7 = 7 + 0 For someone trying to learn this concept for the first time, it might be helpful to use visuals that demonstrate the process in practical, hands-on terms. Start with the original number of something. For instance, if the number is seven, you could start with seven jellybeans. Separate the pile into two different piles by pulling one jellybean to the side. Count the remaining jellybeans in the second pile and explain that the original seven have been decomposed into "one" and "six." Continue separating jellybeans into two different piles by gradually taking away from the original pile and adding to the second pile. Count the number of jellybeans in both piles with each move. This can be done with a number of different materials, including small candies, paper squares, colored clothespins, blocks, or buttons.

SUMMARY:
Understand the concept. Practice with a small number. Work through all the different addend combinations. Use visuals, if necessary.
