Article: You can make both a paper and a fabric scroll look old and ancient. The choice depends on what you are doing with the scroll. For example, party invitations would be best as paper scrolls, but hanging art and gifts might be better as fabric scrolls. The process of making the scroll look old should be done prior to assembling the scroll. Paint, draw, or print your artwork on the scroll. When you make the paper or fabric look old, some colors of your artwork may change. The best artwork color to use is black if you want an authentic antique look. Use a foam paintbrush to paint brewed black coffee or tea onto the fabric or paper. Coffee will be much darker than tea. Dip the paintbrush in the coffee or tea and gently squeeze some excess out. Paint the coffee or tea all over. Use different stroke angles and different levels of saturation. Try not to make it uniform. Having some areas darker than others is good for achieving an antiquated look. A few steps can finish the antique look on your paper or fabric. For paper, after putting the coffee on, you can put the paper in the oven at the lowest setting for about 5 minutes, or until it is dry. You can also carefully burn the edges of the paper by holding a candle up to the edge of the paper and then blowing it out before it burns too far in. Repeat this process around the perimeter of the paper. For fabric, after the fabric has dried, cut the edges to fray them. This will only work with some types of fabric, like burlap. If you have a fabric that won't fray, try painting extra coffee or tea around parts of the edges to make them darker. When the fabric or paper is completely dry, you can begin to assemble the scroll. Attach the dowels with glue or by sewing. Add embellishments like a hanging ribbon or wooden ornament on the dowels. Roll the scroll or hang it on the wall.

Article: Your teachers will be very impressed if you ask thoughtful questions. The formulation of these questions will vary widely depending on the particular class you're in. Consider your teacher's lecture or the material you were assigned, then identify information that was not explained well (or at all). For instance, if you read that a particular national crisis was solved by the passage of a new tax, you could ask your teacher who developed the tax, or how long it was in effect. If you know the answer (or even think you know the answer) to your teacher's question, raise your hand and answer it. Don't be afraid to get an answer wrong; your teacher will appreciate your effort just the same. Your teacher might sometimes invite comments from you and your classmates about a particular problem or topic they are lecturing about. During this period of open comment and exchange, share your thoughts and feelings in an open and honest way. Use the responses of your fellow students as well as the class material to come up with your own thoughts and comments. Joining class discussions counts towards class participation and may help boost your overall grade. Your teachers won't be impressed by you if your hog all the attention. Make a few smart points, then let others contribute. Try to participate at least once during each class or each discussion. Be courteous of other students, however, and give others a chance to talk as well. If your class is large or if your teacher does not invite questions or comments, you might not be able to participate at all on some days. If your teacher is rearranging the desks or hanging posters up, ask them if they need help. Your thoughtfulness and generosity will impress them. Encourage your friends to help out, too.
