Write an article based on this "Apologize. Show that you understand the impact your actions had on him. Avoid escalating the situation. Ask what you can do to make it up to him. Make him smile. Let him know you're thinking about him."
article: Apologize early and often; admit that you were wrong (if you were) and take responsibility. Tell him that you were wrong and that you won't do it (whatever it was) again. And then don't do that thing again. Don't use the sorry-not-really-sorry line of "I'm sorry you got so upset." It shifts the responsibility onto him and makes it sound as if you're not sorry for your actions, you just wish he wouldn't get mad about it. If he responds with a--potentially justified--angry text, apologize again. Continue apologizing if he comes at you with more angry responses. Simply say something like, "I'm sorry--I was wrong." Just apologizing or trying to explain that your intentions were good won't work. Saying you're sorry isn't enough--you need to show you recognize the negative consequences your actions had on him and that you sincerely regret it. If he feels like you genuinely understand why your actions made him mad, he's more likely to feel validated and begin forgiving you. Even if you don't necessarily think his feelings or reaction is justified, apologize anyway. If you want him to like you again, you want him to see you understand how he's feeling. Even if you say you're sorry, it won't be enough to make him like you again if you then start saying things that will escalate the situation. Don't, for example, say anything about thinking his reactions were irrational or unjustified. It will make him feel like you aren't really sorry and don't really understand the situation--and he'll go back to being mad. Don't bring up things he's done to upset you in the past. Turning the conversation into a tit-for-tat about who did what to who isn't going to diffuse the situation. It will only make it drag on longer and make him less likely to forgive you. Asking for his input on what you can do shows that you're listening to him and genuinely want to know what would make things better from his perspective. For example, you might say something like, "I know you had to wait 45 minutes for me and that it probably felt like I wasn't making you a priority. How can I make it up to you in the future?" Humor is disarming. If you can make him laugh, or even smile a bit, you can get your foot in the metaphorical door. Try being humorously self-deprecating. If humor is disarming, affable self-deprecation is doubly so. So try poking a little fun at yourself or acknowledging one of your endearing flaws. You might text him something purposefully ridiculous, like, "I'm really sorry I was late picking you up--we both know I'm a klutz, and I must have walked into at least five walls trying to get here." Or you could text something more honest but still gently self-deprecating, like, "You know how I look at the time on the clock as a challenge instead of a warning? Well...the clock won." Particularly if the guy's mad because he feels like you ignored him or his needs in some way, remind him that you do think about him--often. For example, you might text him with an affectionate reference to something you saw that reminded you of him (bonus if it relates to a private joke between you), like, "I just saw a car with a Florida license plate and it reminded me of all the stories you tell about growing up there. It made me smile."

Write an article based on this "Create a flat platform on the core (if necessary). Use direct percussion to create flakes (if necessary). Trim the flake shape. Abrade the edge of the flake."
article: If your core is round or has an irregular surface, you'll need to strike it with a hammerstone to create a relatively flat "platform" to start with. The stone will fracture at roughly a 50 angle from the direction of impact, so for a round rock you'll want to tilt the core to about 40 and strike straight downward. The platform must be next to a side that narrows inward. You won't be able to use any side that bulges outward from the platform, or goes straight down at a 90 angle. If you are using a core, once you have a flat platform, use your hammerstone or billet to strike off flakes, or thin, relatively flat pieces you can turn into tools. Always remember that the stone fractures at a 50 from the point of impact. To use this to your advantage, tilt the core so the platform is at a 40 angle from the vertical. Strike the lower end of the platform with the tool, hitting it with a glancing blow that carries on past the point. You may need to repeat this several times around the platform, until you get a piece that is mostly flat, and a fair amount larger than the tool you want to make. If the material splits into three pieces, or the platform crumbles around the blow, the angle is probably too small (the blow is too direct). If you're only getting tiny chips, the angle is probably too large (the blow is too glancing). Unless you were lucky enough to get a perfect triangular or rectangular flake, you'll probably need to break it further. Do this using the same direct percussion technique, until you have a piece a bit larger than what you want to end up with, and with no concave "bites" taken out of the edge. Abrading is one of the most important processes in flint knapping. A newly struck flake typically has thin, fragile areas around the edge, which need to be ground down to a dull, thicker edge so it can withstand the impact of the tool. To accomplish this, grind the edge of your flake in a sawing motion against another flattish sort of stone of slightly lesser hardness. Old grinding wheels work well for this, or any smooth hunk of limestone. If grooves appear in the tool you are grinding with, this is a good sign, since it means the tool is softer than the flake. Once the fragile edges have chipped off or been ground down, you'll have a dependable platform able to take the extreme rigors of lithic engineering.

Write an article based on this "Describe what you learned in the lab. Answer specific questions given in the assignment. Explain whether you achieved the experiment's objectives."
article:
You may be asked to demonstrate a particular scientific principle or theory. If this is the case, your conclusion should reflect that. If it's not clear in your conclusion what you learned from the lab, start off by writing, "In this lab, I learned" This will give the reader a heads up that you will be describing exactly what you learned. Add details about what you learned and how you learned it. Adding dimension to your learning outcomes will convince your reader that you did, in fact, learn from the lab. Give specifics about how you learned that molecules will act in a particular environment, for example. Describe how what you learned in the lab could be applied to a future experiment. Your teacher may have listed certain questions in the assignment that need to be answered. On a new line, write the question in italics. On the next line, write the answer to the question in regular text. The introduction to your lab report should have stated certain objectives that you hoped to achieve with this experiment. Revisit these objectives in the conclusion to make sure that you are addressing them sufficiently. If your experiment did not achieve the objectives, explain or speculate why not.
