Q: Antiquing is a process by which you put a dark 'antique' stain over the top of cabinets that are painted or stained a few shades lighter. That means that the base color for the cabinets can be anything you like, be it painted white or stained oak. You can antique over your current cabinet color if you so desire, but many people like to go for a totally transformed cabinet look by adding a new base color as well. Examine your space and consider your overall decor to determine what the base color of your cabinets should be. Generally, it is best to stay away from very dark base colors, as the antiquing effect won't show up as well on them. Cabinets painted white or stained with a light, natural wood stain are very popular for their 'shabby chic' appearance when antiqued. The antique stain is the dark stain that will be painted over the top (and then wiped off of) the base color on the cabinets. While any matte stain will work, it is recommended that you select a stain advertised for its antiquing qualities. This is because antique stains are made to be the right opacity, luster, and color to convey an authentic antique appearance. For white and cream cabinets, choose a mid-tone antique stain. For honey/caramel tone cabinets, chose a medium to dark stain (depending on the desired contrast). For dark cabinets in a chocolate or coffee hue, you'll want to choose the darkest antique stain available. Antique stains cost about the same as regular wood stain, so you're not losing out financially by going with this option. The higher the contrast between the antique stain and the base color, the more worn and vintage the cabinets will appear when finished. There are pros and cons to both leaving your cabinets in place for painting, and to removing the doors and reinstalling them post-painting. If you choose to leave them in place, you save yourself a bit of prep work. However, you may end up spending more time taping off hinges and trim as well as painting. By removing the doors, you are granted full access to every aspect of the cabinet that needs painting. However, removing the doors and replacing them when you're finished antiquing takes a lot of time and effort. If you choose to remove your doors, label them on a piece of painters tape so that you know where they are supposed to go back in place. Know that you'll have to tape off the walls, floor and/or ceiling regardless of which option you choose. There aren't a ton of supplies necessary for antiquing cabinets, but you best make sure you have all of them at the ready before starting your project. You will need: Base color paint/stain (optional) Antiquing stain 1-2 Paintbrushes (size dependent on project - 3-inches wide is typically good) 100-grit sandpaper Sanding block or electric sander (optional) Painters tape Dry, clean cloth (choose a smooth fabric) Rubber gloves Finishing glaze/sealant (optional)
A: Decide on a base color for your cabinets. Choose your antique stain. Decide if you will remove your cabinet doors or leave them in place for the painting process. Get all of your supplies ready.

Q: Older learners are often more motivated to learn and have a greater grasp on their current reading level. Ask them for their self-assessed reading level and what they're comfortable reading now. Start there and make adjustments as necessary. It's also a good idea to get an idea of what their interests are so that you can meet their needs. You could ask questions like these: "What are your favorite genres?" "What do you find interesting to read about?" or "What do you think makes reading the most difficult?" Adolescent and adult learners understandably don't want to read children's books. For these students, search for crime fiction or other adult themes tailored to low literacy levels. You could also look for edited versions of the classic authors, such as Shakespeare. Some possible choices are: Reading Shakespeare with Young Adults by Mary Ellen Dakin The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin Before We were Free by Julia Alvarez Divide students into small groups. Have them read the title of their assigned reading, as well as the captions to any illustrations in the reading. By reserving time for this activity in class, you'll emphasize the importance of previewing in their future readings. Some examples of guiding questions for this assignment are: This book is called How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. Based on that title, what do you think this book is about? What information does this photograph of Civil Rights activists sitting at a "Whites Only" counter give us about the newspaper article? Dictionaries are great, but looking up individual words can make readers lose their focus of the subject matter of their assignment. Teach students the importance of figuring out the meanings or significance of words from the context of the sentence or paragraph. You can teach context though: Fill-in-the-blank questions. Students complete by choosing one of three possible words under or to the side of the question. Antonym exercises. Students must figure out the meaning of one word by analyzing the use of its antonym (a word they already know) in the same sentence. An example would be: While Mrs. Smith welcomed all immigrants, her neighbor was xenophobic. What does xenophobic mean? Have your students plan which strategies they'll use for their assigned readings. For the next class, ask them which strategies helped the most. Examples of reading strategies are: Skimming Using context Trying to predict what will happen next in a narrative
A:
Talk to older learners to get an idea of their reading level. Match their maturity level. Preview homework assignments in class. Emphasize context. Discuss reading strategies.
