INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although you most likely know how to use and apply 5th grade level content, you will need to become an expert in order to teach it. Furthermore, you must be aware of the learning standards and objectives for your state, district, and school. Most states follow the Common Core curriculum, which outlines subject matter and skill sets for math and English language arts. You will also probably teach science and social studies. Teach algebraic thinking, fractions, measurement and data, and geometry in math. Teach inferencing, themes, compare and contrast, story structures and point of view in English Language Arts. Teach social studies and science using the Common Core standards for reading under English language arts. All people learn differently. Most people can describe themselves as either visual, auditory, reading/writing, or kinesthetic learners. Remember to consider all learning styles when you plan your lessons. Use pictures, graphic organizers, and maps for visual learners. Incorporate class discussions and the use of mnemonics for auditory learners. Assign and written assignments and readings for readers or writers. Include physical and hands on activities for kinesthetic learners. You must constantly ask yourself if students are absorbing what you are teaching them. Assessments can be formal or informal and should always be aligned to your teaching goals. Informally assess students with comprehension questions, classwork, homework, and group discussions. These assessments allow the teacher to gauge student progress. They also help teachers decide if a topic needs to be reviewed or if changes need to be made to future lessons. Formally assess students using tests, quizzes, projects, or presentations. These types of assessments usually make up a larger portion of student grades, but they don't have to. Remember that formal assessments should reflect what has been taught over the course of a unit. Try to remember when you were a kid; even better, remember when you were a fifth grader. Learning math or history out of a textbook probably wasn't memorable to you. Incorporate fun activities into learning. Make connections to real life with campaigns or debates. Offer incentives for exemplary participation in class activities. Use songs or poems to transition between topics.

SUMMARY: Learn the content. Be aware of different learning styles. Regularly assess student progress. Motivate your students.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your Softdisc will protect you from leaks overnight, but it's best to put in a new cup shortly before bed. Make sure you won't go over the 12 hour time limit. Remember, your cup may fill up faster on heavy period days. If your period is very heavy, you might want to wear a backup pantyliner just in case. Like tampons, Softdisc is a great option if you have an active lifestyle. Once it's in place, your disc won't leak while you're playing sports or swimming unless it overflows. If you're worried about leaks, put in a new Softdisc right before you swim or wear a backup pantyliner while playing sports. Softdisc are safe to wear during sex. They will continue to collect your menstrual fluids during and after intercourse. However, Softdisc does not provide any pregnancy or STD protection. It's safe to use condoms when you're using a Softdisc.

SUMMARY: Change your Softdisc before bed for overnight protection. Use a Softdisc for period protection while playing sports or swimming. Wear a Softdisc during sex but use your normal birth control method.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The term "pre-filled vaccine syringes", in this case, is not referring to influenza vaccine syringes specifically manufactured as individual doses by the vaccine manufacturer, and, instead, refers to multiple, individual dose syringes filled from either single-dose or multi-dose vials before patients arrive at the clinic. If you are running a flu-shot clinic, try not to use pre-filled vaccine syringes. This can help avoid administration errors. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggests that the person who administers the vaccine should be the one who draws it from the vial. Before administering the vaccine, you want to take several precautionary measures with the patient, including ensuring that he hasn't already had his annual vaccination. This can help ensure that the patient isn't overexposed to the virus or has a history of bad reactions to the vaccine. Always inquire about allergies to avoid giving a medication to a patient with previous reactions. If the patient is unclear, request formal medical record. Always use two step identification process asking patient name and date of birth to ensure right patient it receiving the injection. Get a copy of the patient's medical history. This can prevent medical errors. Ask the patient if he's had a history of bad reactions to the flu shot. Fever, dizziness or muscle pain may are common side effects of receiving the flu shot and should go away with time. Signs of severe allergy can include difficulty breathing, hives, wheezing, weakness and dizziness or heart palpitations. These symptoms are serious and should be evaluated immediately. The Flublok influenza vaccine may be a good option for those people who have had allergic reactions in the past. It is prepared without the use of eggs, which can sometimes be the cause of an allergic reaction. It also does not use the actual flu virus itself to create a vaccine. Every person who receives a flu shot must receive this statement. It explains the type of vaccine they received and how it works to keep them safe and eliminate flu epidemics. Document the date you provided the patient with the statement. Write it in the patient's chart or other vaccination record, if available. Ask the patient if she has any questions before continuing on to administer the dosage. In the medical record, it is important to include the expiration date of vaccine and lot number in case this information is needed in the future. The Centers for Disease Control also offers copies of the VIS on their website for informative purposes. Use soap and water to wash your hands before giving an injection of any kind. This can help prevent the spread of the flu virus or any other bacteria you or the patient may have. You don't need special soap to clean your hands, any type will do; however, it is recommended to use an antibacterial soap if possible. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. If you like, use a hand sanitizer after you've washed your hands to kill any other bacteria you may have missed.

SUMMARY:
Avoid pre-filled vaccine syringes. Take patient safety precautions. Provide the patient with a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS). Wash your hands.
