In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can be a channel between 2 ponds or lakes, a narrow area of a stream, or where a small river flows into the ocean. Any narrow, moving area of water that you will be able to partially close off will work. This method is also known as weir fishing. It is a very old, tried-and-true method of catching fish by directing them to a certain area into a net or trap. Create a wall on each side so that the mouth of the V shape is facing upstream. This is now the only way through the area for fish to swim through. If there are no rocks, then you can use sticks and anything else you can find to create the walls. Make the gap slightly smaller than whatever you are going to place across it to catch the fish so that there is no room for fish to escape at the sides. Anchor it down with a rock on the inside. Use a stick to hold open the mouth of the net you are using if it doesn't have a hard rim. This sets the trap for the fish to swim into. You can improvise a net from clothing, blankets, or other fabric if you need to. Other things you can use include buckets or plastic bins. If you have a hand net, you could also stand and wait until you see fish passing through the gap and quickly scoop them up from the water. Throw rocks as far into the center as you can if your trap is downstream of a pond or lake. Beat the water with a branch or throw rocks upstream of your net. This is to encourage the fish to swim away from the commotion, down toward your trap. If you are not doing this alone, you can have someone stand down by your trap and watch for the fish to swim in. This way, you know when to stop and start making the commotion. Quickly and carefully lift the net out of the water in a scooping motion, if there are any fish in it, and bring them to shore. Repeat making the commotion to try and scare fish into it until you catch some if there are none. You are most likely to catch several smaller fish with this method, rather than large fish. Large fish might be too strong for your net.
Summary: Find a narrow spot that water flows through. Block off the sides of the area with rocks in a "V" shape and leave a gap. Place a net or plastic bag, downstream across the gap. Make a commotion upstream to scare fish into the net. Go and check the trap after a few minutes of making a commotion.

Your teacher should lay out the basics of what you need to do to create the project. Look at the description, and figure out exactly how many things you'll need to complete it. For example, maybe your assigned project is "Pick a specific country to make a presentation on. You will need to represent this project visually. You need to provide information on the geography, the people, the culture (including food), the language, and the government, at the very least. As a part of the project, provide a food for the class that represents the country." For this project, you'll need to focus on these components: 1) Choose a country. 2) Research the country. 3) Figure out a visual representation. 4) Provide text for informational purposes. 5) Cook or buy food. If you procrastinate, you will wind up doing the project in a hurry, and you won't be able to do your best work. You'll likely need more time than you think to put your project together. Essentially, there is no way to do an A+ project at the last minute. If you do happen to get a good grade on a project you procrastinated on, consider it luck. Look at how much time you have. To make yourself a timeline, look ahead to when the project is due. You need to know exactly how much time you have to divide up the time properly. On a sheet of paper or calendar, label each week that you have to do the project. Next, think about how much time you'll need to do each part. For instance, the first week could be "Doing Early Research and Deciding on a Project" and "Gathering Materials." The next week could be "Doing Research for the Project," followed by "Writing the Text for the Project." The fourth week could be "Putting Together the Visual Aspect," while the final week could be "Wrapping Up the Project and Working on Food."

One-sentence summary -- Begin with what the teacher assigns. Start as soon as possible. Schedule your time.

Problem: Article: Ideally, a bunch should contain no more than 5 - 10 stems to facilitate ventilation. The ideal temperature for drying is around 68F/20C. If you do not have a dark spot in the house, you can try tying paper lunch bags over each bunch and piercing airholes in the bag. This has the added bonus of also keeping the dust off. Check them every now and then to see how they are drying - thicker stemmed herbs will take longer. Check to see if their consistency has become crumbly by rubbing a leaf between two fingers. If they crumble, they are ready to be taken down. Pick out any fluff, woody pieces and other foreign material as you remove the leaves. You can keep the leaves whole, crush them in your fingers to make a really fine ground mix for cooking (but use this quickly to retain flavour) or leave them in leaf shape for tea, garnishes on soups, etc. (these should not be too crumbly). Seeds should be left whole and crushed only when needed for cooking. Store the herbs for up to one year.
Summary:
Hang herbs to dry them for a quick preserving method that doesn't require too much effort. Remove lower leaves from the stems and tie the bunch of herbs together close to the top of the stems. Find a dry, warm (not humid), dark and well ventilated place that is out of the way of pedestrian traffic or constant rummaging. Leave the herbs to dry for 1 - 3 weeks. Remove the leaves and bottle them in airtight glass herb jars (or other jars you have around). Label the jar and date it.
