Article: Go to a shipping supply or craft store and buy a slim cardboard packing container. The box should be thick enough to withstand general wear and tear. If possible, get a box that is slightly larger than your picture frame, that way you can pad it for extra safety. If you're using a top opening box, put a layer of bubble wrap down, set your picture frame on it, and cover the frame with another layer of bubble wrap. If you're using a side-opening box, place a small tube of bubble wrap inside, slide your art in, then place another tube of wrap on top. To keep your picture frame from shifting during transit, fill any empty areas with bubble wrap or a similar thick packing material. Put in enough bubble wrap that if you shake the box while it's closed you cannot feel the painting move. Close the lid of your box and secure the seam with masking tape. Then, wrap all 4 thin sides of the box with additional masking tape, making sure no area goes uncovered. The tape will help reinforce your box, making it less likely to bust open.

Problem: Article: Showering doesn't have to be a hassle. In fact, it can be quite a pleasurable experience. Turn the water up nice and hot and delight in the sensation of the tiny streams prickling your skin. Breathe in the steam and feel its warmth spread through your body. Take your time. It's about enjoying a moment of leisure as much as it is getting clean. Showering serves as a time out from the rest of the world, giving you a chance to be alone and get some much-needed peace and quiet. Try not to overdo ittoo much time in a hot shower on a regular basis can strip your skin of the healthy, natural oils it needs. Stock up on musky soaps or silky body washes, fragrant shampoos and face scrubs or a fluffy new loofah. You'll hardly be able to wait to take a shower if you're excited about pampering yourself. When you use these types of products, you'll also feel totally refreshed once you leave the shower, which can make you look forward to the next one. Change up the scents and formulas of your bath products every few weeks to keep them from getting old. For example, you might use a fresh-smelling floral body wash during the summer, then switch to an evergreen fragrance for the winter months. It's no fun at all to climb into a shower covered with mold or soap scum with a weak trickle of water pouring out of the shower head and hair clogging the drain. If your facilities are in need of a deep cleaning, it can ruin much of what's rewarding about bathing for you. Give everything a good wipe down and see if you can still resist that spotless, inviting shine. To prevent mildew and keep your bathing environment sanitary and inviting, aim to clean your shower every 2-3 weeks. Mix up a quick, organic cleaning solution using two parts white vinegar and one part warm water. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils for a more pleasant scent. Make bath time more entertaining by playing a few of your favorite songs and cranking up the volume. Listening to music will give you something to focus on other than the tedium of lathering, rinsing and repeating. You can even have your own private dance party or sing along as loud as you likeas long as the other people in the house don't mind. Invest in a watertight phone case or some waterproof speakers that you can bring into the humid bathroom with you. Put together a special playlist to queue up while you're showering, complete with hits like "Splish Splash," "So Fresh, So Clean" and "Wade in the Water."
Summary: Take advantage of the chance to relax. Buy some new bath supplies. Clean your bathroom. Put on some music.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The assignments that fall under this section, which are assessed internally by your IB-approved teacher (hence the name), are worth 30% of your final grade. It includes an Individual Oral Commentary and Discussion and Individual Oral Presentation. Focus your energies appropriately, then. This does not, however, mean that you should brush off these assignments as insignificant. If you really want to score a seven, that thirty percent will be critical. Because your teacher is involved in the assessment, pay increased intention to his/her points of emphasis regarding the works themselves and the themes/topics/details worth extra consideration. For this assignment, you present a formal oral commentary on a extract of poetry from Part 2 of the class, followed by questions from the teacher, for ten minutes total, followed by an additional ten minutes of discussion about another extracted work from Part 2. You are not made aware of the extracts to be considered until twenty minutes beforehand, so you may feel that you cannot do much preparation. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. By thoroughly analyzing each work in Part 2, thereby preparing yourself to discuss key components like poetic conventions, authorial intent, themes, contexts, and the like, you will be more capable of providing cogent, reasoned analysis quickly and clearly. Conduct "practice runs" by selecting extracts yourself and preparing oral commentaries within the given time constraints. Even if the likelihood of your choosing the exact extract is small, the process of preparing, organizing, and presenting your thoughts within a given time limit will serve you well for the actual assessment. For the questions and discussion session, prepare by thinking about questions and issues you would raise regarding these works. Practice either alone or even better with a partner by raising and discussing these questions / issues. As you prepare, practice speaking within the prescribed time limit, neither too long (which can cause you to rush or be cut off) nor too short (which opens you up to even more questions from the teacher.) This assignment provides you a bit more flexibility, giving you 10-15 minutes to present a cogent analysis of one or more works from Part 4 (freely-chosen works). Work in consultation with your instructor to determine which works to cover and what themes/issues/topics to emphasize. Essentially, for the oral presentation, you want to achieve the same thing as in an essay, just in another format. You need to provide a clear argument (thesis), provide specific supporting evidence from the texts under consideration, and use clear, effective, proper language in doing so. Your grade is determined by your demonstrated knowledge of the work(s), appreciation of thematic aspects, audience engagement, and manner of delivery, so what you say and how you say it are both of importance. Practice, practice, practice. Practice your presentation as many times as possible beforehand. Practice in the mirror or in front of others. Sufficient preparation is the best way to battle nerves about public speaking and to ensure that your presentation comes in on time (10-15 minutes). Instead of being wary of failure, think of this as your chance to shine to determine what you want to discuss and present it in an engaging, effective manner.

SUMMARY: Play the percentages (again). Own your Individual Oral Commentary and Discussion. Produce results with your Individual Oral Presentation.

Sprinkle 1cm or half an inch of salt into the base of a clean and dry crock, jar or ceramic storage container with lid. Make sure they're clean and dry. Sprinkle a light layer of salt over each layer of basil leaves. Continue this way until all the leaves have been added. About every 10 or so layers, press down gently to slightly firm but not crush the layers of leaves. Press firmly but gently. Finish by pouring in a lot more salt to compact everything down. Shake and jolt the crock a bit to help ease the salt into all the cracks and crevices between the layers. Place the crock in a cool and dry spot. The pantry is often ideal, or a cellar. Leave as long as you like. Shake the salt off the leaves then cook with them as usual.
