Article: This could be a great turn-on moment, one of those moments where they feel like: "I get it! Wow!", "I like math more than ever/more than I thought". Treat this like a scientific experiment, as sort of a "math/science" cross-curricular assignment. "Show them, or let them show you, but do not tell them! Let them discover things." If it's a giveaway, then the outcome is too easy for what it is all showing. So instead, make it so that students can discover it as a mystery and have a "Eureka! experience...", not just hear or read about an experiment. You wouldn't want to push straight through a reading or lecture presentation as here, but be subtle at firstlead, facilitate, then clarify it after getting students to present their charts as posters of what they discoveredtheir way! Students can post their presentations on a math wall, and be proud of their quick-wits, cleverness, working through it! And, after you apply this one, you might like to explore leading to be a great teacher.

Help students to really enjoy this exercise. Make-up a mysterious assignment sheet for a class or outside project, if you are a teacher or tutor. Hint a bit.

Article: Light and medium roasts are great if you want to taste the different complex flavors originating from the coffee bean. Central and South American green coffee beans are also known for their delicate floral and citrus flavors, so consider this region if you like your coffee to be a little sweet.

Costa Rica: Costa Rican green coffee beans make a heavy roast with nut and citrus flavors. Brazil: Brazilian coffee is often delicate and sweet, with chocolate and nut flavors. Several countries in this region dry process their coffee beans, which makes sweeter, heavier coffee. The Middle East and East Africa are known for producing coffees with unique, complex flavors, so try beans from this region if you want a roast that's very distinct. A few coffee-fan favorites from the region are: Kenya: Kenyan green coffee beans are known to produce complex roasts with flavors like black currant and citrus. Ethiopia: Each coffee-producing region in Ethiopia produces beans with distinct flavors, ranging from fruity and sweet to nutty and spicy. Many coffee bean producers in Indonesia dry the beans on parchment over clay, giving the beans their distinct flavor and making them a great option if you enjoy earthy, mushroom flavors. Jamaica is a particular favorite among coffee connoisseurs.

Article: If you need a topic for a project, like an English project, but you don't know where to find one, ask your teacher for some ideas. She/He may be surprised to see that you are interested in doing your work. Go to the library, and research your topic. Find magazine articles, newspaper clippings,or how they dressed, what they imported/exported, and what were the most important things that happened during that time period. Find key information. If you have 1 month to do a book report, spend the next day getting books from the library, 1 week reading it, etc. It's a lot easier when you have a plan. Ask them to take you to Walmart, Longs Drugs, or any other store near you that sells tri-fold boards or big poster board. If you wait until the night before your project is due, you will be in trouble and you may not have enough time to do everything you need to. If you don't want to do your whole project in one day, make a plan to accomplish your goal of completing the project. If you get a Tri-Fold Board, put a time-line on one of the tri-fold parts, and on the other one, put the most important thing (if it's a company) they sell and (if it's a time period) how the people dressed and what music they listened to. If it's a person,artist, or band, put their music or any random fun facts about them the most important thing. The most important part is the essay. In your essay, you always need an introduction and thesis statement (main idea), 3 body paragraphs, a conclusion, a bibliography, and a reference page. In your introduction paragraph, you need to wake up your classmates when you read it. Start out with something that will catch their attention. For example: if it's on the atomic bombs, dress up as a mad scientist or the person who made them and act out what you say, jump around. You could start out with, Boom! (Jump towards the students) In (year A to year B) the Atomic Bomb was created! I, (whoever made the atom bomb), was (and so on). The reports can be really boring when you hear them so try to keep the students awake and not falling asleep. If you see someone starting to get bored, improvise and wake them up! Get some help and make your board colorful with bold fonts and rainbow colors.
