Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find a map with latitude and longitude lines. Pinpoint the location you are interested in. Locate the latitude and longitude markers. Use a ruler to mark the latitude of your point. Draw another line to mark the longitude of the point. Estimate the latitude and longitude of your point using the graticules. Put your measurements together to determine the coordinates.

Answer: Not all maps indicate latitude and longitude. You are most likely to find them on maps of large areas, such as atlas maps, or on smaller maps that are designed to reflect the terrain extremely accurately, such as topographic maps. If you are in the US, detailed topographic maps of most regions are available through the US Geological Survey. Take look at the map, and locate the feature or area for which you would like to know the coordinates. Mark the exact spot you are interested in with a pin or a pencil mark. Latitude is indicated on a map by a series of evenly-spaced horizontal lines running from one side of the map to the other, while longitude is indicated by a series of evenly-spaced vertical lines running from top to bottom. Look for numbers along the edges of the map giving coordinates for each line. These numbers are called "graticules." Latitude graticules are marked along the east and west edges of the map. Longitude graticules are marked on the north and south edges. Depending on the scale of your map, the graticules may mark fractions of degrees rather than whole degrees. For instance, there may be a Graticule marked at every minute within a degree instead of every degree (e.g., 320, 321, and so on). The map should also indicate where the latitude and longitude depicted are relative to the equator and prime meridian, respectively (e.g., North or South, East or West). Take care not to confuse the latitude and longitude lines with UTM lines, another type of grid coordinate system often found on maps. UTM numbers are usually marked in a smaller text (and without degree symbols) along the edges of the map, and UTM gridlines may be marked in a different color from latitude and longitude lines. Take a ruler and a pencil and mark a level horizontal line from your point to the nearest east or west edge of the map. Make sure your line is parallel to the nearest latitude line on the map. Starting from the same point, use the ruler and pencil to draw a straight vertical line to the nearest north or south edge of the map. Make sure your line is parallel to the closest longitude line. Depending on the scale of the map, you may be able to estimate the coordinates of your point down to the second. Look at where your latitude and longitude lines intersect the coordinate lines on the edge of the map, and estimate the coordinates by their position relative to the closest graticules. If your map shows seconds, find the second closest to where each line intersects the latitude or longitude scale at the edge of the map. For example, if your latitude line falls about 5 above the 3220N line, your point is at a latitude of approximately 32205N. If your map shows minutes, but not seconds, then you can estimate your latitude or longitude to within 6 seconds by dividing the space between each graticule into 10ths. If your longitude line falls about 2/10 to the left of the 12014E line, then the longitude is roughly 1201412E. Geographic coordinates are the place where the latitude and longitude lines converge on a single point. Look at the numbers you got for the latitude and longitude of your point, and put them together (e.g., 32205N, 1201412E).

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use paper towels to remove as much of the vomit as possible. Clean the carpeted area . Add cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp detergent, and 2 tbsp rubbing alcohol. Wet a clean kitchen sponge with the solution. Use the sponge to wipe the rest of the vomit away. Sprinkle the carpeted area with baking soda. the baking soda once dry.

Answer: Pick up the bulk of the vomit with a couple of dry, folded paper towels, but take care not to squash the vomit particles down into the carpet. with cold water. Fill a spray bottle with cold water, and spray down the carpeted area. Using a towel, start blotting and dabbing the vomit until the chunks and moisture are mostly gone. With each blot and dab, be sure to use a clean section of the towel; you may need more than one towel if the carpeted area is large. ix 2 cups of warm water and 1 tbsp of table salt together. Now that the vomit is mostly gone, prepare homemade carpet cleaner to finish cleaning the carpeted area. Warm up about 2 cups of water in a large microwave-safe bowl or cup. Stir in 1 tbsp of salt, and continue stirring until the salt is dissolved. Add these ingredients to the water and salt mixture. Mix all of these ingredients together in the bowl or cup. Dip a clean sponge repeatedly in the cleaning solution to saturate it with the cleaning substance. You will use this to continue cleaning the carpeted area. Again, if the area is large, you may need more than one sponge. Using small strokes, remove the rest of the vomit and any stains with the damp kitchen sponge. Just like before, with every stroke and dab, use a clean area of the sponge. Each time you stroke the area with the sponge, you will be removing vomit. Rinse the sponge in the sink with warm water if it becomes completely dirty. You will likely want to throw the sponge you use away. . Now that the vomit is cleaned up, sprinkle the carpeted area with baking soda, completely covering the area you just cleaned. This will rid the carpet of any smells and will help the carpet dry. e dry. It may take several hours for the baking soda on the carpet to dry, and it will likely become clumpy. Keep your pets away from the carpeted area during this time. Once the area is completely dry, use a vacuum cleaner to completely suck up the baking soda.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use pursed lip breathing to control shortness of breath. Inhale slowly through your nose, counting to 2. Press your lips together as though you're going to blow out a candle. Exhale slowly through your pursed lips.

Answer: Pursed lip breathing is one of the best ways to deal with shortness of breath that is not caused by a health issue. If you're in serious distress, you should always call for help first. Pursed breathing has the following benefits: It improves how much air is getting into your lungs. It releases trapped air from inside your lungs. It makes it easier for you to breathe. It slows your breathing. It helps your body get into a better breathing rhythm, releasing old air before taking in new air. It helps you relax. Your mouth should be closed so that you aren't tempted to breathe through your mouth. You only need to take a small breath, so don't worry about deeply inhaling during the 2 seconds. Relax your neck and shoulders as you breathe in and out. You can make pursed lips by pressing your lips together in a tight pucker, as though you are about to whistle or blow air onto something. The goal is a slow stream of air exiting your mouth. Release the breath through your mouth, allowing it to slowly flow between your lips. Take as many seconds as you need to let all of the air leave your body before you take another breath through your nose. Your exhale should be slower than your inhale. Continue breathing through pursed lips until you feel like you're in control of your breathing.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Utilize online materials. Ask about their scores.

Answer:
Once the paper and pens are put back and the initial hurdles are over, go online for quizzes and games to see how much your child has retained. Of course, it's possible to write out quizzes yourself and you're more than welcome to do this--but simply being on a computer may make your child feel like it's less of a test and more of a fun challenge. You've done all this work at home--now how has it gone at school? If your child isn't volunteering this information, just ask! They should be proud of good grades; if they're grades aren't so stellar, you can review with them more to have better results next time. It's always an option to call the teacher and inquire about the curriculum. An involved parent is always appreciated.
