Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Crush the cardamom pods with the flat side of a knife until they split. Grate the cloves Roast all of the ingredients except the nutmeg in a frying pan for 4 minutes. Stir or shake the pan every 15-20 seconds to prevent the spices from burning. Remove the pan from the heat and add the grated nutmeg.

Answer: Collect the seeds from the pods with your fingers and discard the empty pods. You can also use a spoon or some other similar kitchen tool for crushing. of fresh nutmeg, until you have about 1 tbsp (28 g). Alternatively, you can use store-bought, pre-ground nutmeg. This won't taste as fresh, but it will be easier if you don't have a cheese grater or nutmeg grater. Though cheese graters are for cheese, they work with nutmeg but not as well as the nutmeg grater. Add 1 tsp (5 g) of whole cloves, 3 to 4 bay leaves, 6 cardamom pods, cup (32 g) of whole black peppercorns, ~6 cm (2.4 in) of Cassia bark (or 3-4 cinnamon sticks), 1 cup (128 g) of cumin seeds, and 1/2 cup (64 g) of coriander seeds to the frying pan, and turn on low to medium heat. You don't need to add oil or butter; dry roasting will make the seeds crispier, get rid of excess moisture, and make the grinding process easier. Cassia bark can be found at Asian supermarkets and is typically found in more authentic blends. However, cinnamon sticks are a common alternative and can add a bit of sweetness. Use a spatula to move the spices throughout the pan and turn them over. This will release the aromas as the spices roast. Since the nutmeg is already ground, it will burn easily if the pan is too hot. Stir slowly and constantly to keep it from burning. The nutmeg will begin to brown. Let the pan sit for a few minutes to cool the spices off before grinding.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Walk around and read your students' work. Encourage your students to talk to fellow students. Edit your students' work. Plan a small-group assessment.

Answer: As your students work on their persuasive essays in class, walk among them, reading what they have so far and offering suggestions. This will help your students stay on track as they write, and prevents them from getting to the end of the writing process before they realize they might be doing something wrong. As your students are writing, have them swap their work with classmates for peer editing. Requiring your students to read one another's writing will give them a chance to view persuasive writing objectively. It also requires them to determine what is effective and what is not. They can apply what they learn from reading their classmates' work to their own writing. You may want to set aside a portion of your class time for this activity to help keep students focused on the task and prevent the class from getting too out of hand. Once your students have finished drafting their essays, let them turn them in to you for review. Allowing your students to submit their essays to you once before they "officially" submit them gives them a chance to get written feedback from you and incorporate that feedback before their essays are graded. Once your students have formally submitted their assignments, schedule some time for them to meet in small groups with their classmates to discuss their assignment. They can tell their classmates what they wrote about, what they found difficult and easy about the assignment, and how they might improve next time.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Refer to stamp collector books. Examine stamps with a magnifying glass. Use a perforation gauge. Identify watermarks.

Answer:
Stamp catalogs and price guides are excellent resources, having illustrated lists of stamps, arranged by year, that give a current market value for a given stamp issue. The most widely recognized catalogs are: the Scott Postage Stamp Catalog, Stanley Gibbons for Great Britain issues, Yvert et Tellier for French issues, Unitrade for Canadian issues, and Minkus and Harris US/BNA for United States issues. You can often find these books in a large library, if you don't want to purchase them yourself. With the designs of many stamp issues only differing by a line or a dot, magnifying glasses are probably the stamp collector's most valued tool. Small jeweler's loops are effective for most hobbyists, but extra valuable or difficult to identify stamps could call for a high-powered magnifying glass with a built-in colored light source. This tool measures the size of the perforated holes around the edge of the stamp, and is only necessary for advanced stamp collectors. These gauges tell you how many perforations fit in 2 centimeters (0.79 inches), which can greatly affect the price of a valuable stamp. If a stamp guide lists two numbers, such as "Perf 11 x 12," the first number refers to the horizontal perforation and the second number refers to the vertical. The paper used to print stamps sometimes has a watermark, often too faint to identify by holding it up to the light. If you have a stamp that can only be identified with a watermark, you'll need a special watermark detection fluid that is non-toxic and safe for stamps. Place the stamp on a black tray and drip the fluid onto it to reveal the watermark. This is also a good way to find creases and hidden repairs on a stamp. If you don't want to get your stamps wet, purchase a specialized tool for this purpose, such as a Sinoscope or Roll-a-Tector.
