INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Peel one small red onion and slice it thinly. Finely slice one or two fresh red chilies and put them in a serving bowl with the sliced onion. You should also chop two handfuls of ripe tomatoes. Put the tomatoes in the bowl along with any juice. You can use your favorite kind of tomatoes. Keep in mind that larger tomatoes will have more liquid than cherry or grape tomatoes. Squeeze one whole lemon and pour the juice into the serving bowl. Ensure there are no seeds in the juice. Pour 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil into the bowl and sprinkle some sea salt and pepper over the mixture. Stir the mixture well. You can add more salt or pepper according to your taste. Open one 15-ounce (425 g) can of chickpeas and drain the liquid. Rinse the chickpeas and then put them in a small saucepan. Heat the chickpeas over medium heat, so they just become warm. Scoop out about 1/4 cup (50 g) of the chickpeas out and put them in a prep bowl. Mash the chickpeas with a fork, so they're smooth. The mashed chickpeas will give the salad a creamy texture. Put the mashed and whole chickpeas into the serving bowl with the vegetables. Let the salad sit at room temperature until you're ready to serve it. Letting the salad sit at room temperature will help the flavors develop. Right before you're ready to serve the chickpea salad, add 1 handful of chopped fresh mint and 1 handful of minced fresh basil. Stir and taste the salad, so you can adjust the seasonings again. Top the salad with 2/3 cup (100 g) of crumbled feta cheese and serve it with crackers. You can use green or purple basil.

SUMMARY: Cut the red onion, red chilies, and tomatoes. Stir in lemon juice and olive oil. Heat and mash the chickpeas. Combine the crunchy vegetable chickpea salad. Serve the salad.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The old blooms will be at the top and edges of your plant and are attached to green stems. Anything brown or yellow should be removed from your plant so new blooms have room to grow. The old blooms will look dry and withered on top of green stems. Hold the end of the dead bloom with one hand and use your shears to make an angled cut to reduce the risk of fungal infection or disease. You can remove up to one-third of the plant this way. You don't have to be precise with the angle you cut, as long as water is able to run off the end of the stem. Annual pruning will help prevent a bald spot from forming in the middle of your plant. Only make your cuts into the green stems of your plant. If you cut too far down into brown and barren wood, blooms will not regenerate from the stem. If your plant has a bald spot, new blooms will not form in that area. Replace the entire plant if you want it to bloom fully. Lift up the tops of the plant up with one hand while you cut the stems with the other. Plants that grow too close to one another will compete for resources, producing fewer blooms and possibly harming your plant. If you don't want heather to intrude on other plants, you can cut into woody parts of the plant to prevent it from growing in that direction.

SUMMARY: Remove old blooms that are withered and yellow. Make angled cuts about 1 inch (2.5cm) below the old bloom stalks. Don't cut into the woody area of your heathers or it will not grow back. Lift the tops of the plant to trim the undergrowth and prevent spreading.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is important to target specific things in the classroom. Choose a skill and set a goal for the children to reach. The skill might be something like waiting until discussion is finished to sharpen a pencil. While this seems trivial, it teaches children to respect and listen to what someone else is saying. Be sure that you are choosing skills that are within the children's ability to understand. Skills for kindergarteners will be different from sixth graders, for example. Children may not say that they like rules, but this is what they need to be successful. For the pencil sharpening example, the rule might be something like "You may only sharpen your pencils when everyone has finished speaking." The children will understand the rule and begin to follow it, though they may need reminded from time to time. The "rule" takes the skill from being merely a suggestion of how to be courteous, to a clear message about what is expected. The first part of this is to role play. Pretend you are one of the children you teach and show them what you expect. The other part is to follow the rule yourself. If the children are not allowed to sharpen a pencil while you are talking to them, then you may not sharpen a pencil when they are talking to you. Have some "test runs" with your new rule. For example, you might give out a few unsharpened pencils and let the children try to sharpen them at appropriate times through the day. Do not punish them for mistakes, but coach them through what should have been done. It is important that the children are comfortable with the rule. If it appears that they do not understand after the first practice run, give it some time and do another one. Parents can do a lot to reinforce what is going on in the classroom. Most parents genuinely want to see their child do well. If you keep them informed about what is happening in the classroom and why, you'll find that some of those behaviors will be modeled at home, too.

SUMMARY: Choose a social skill to work on. Make the skill into a rule. Show the children how to follow the rule. Allow the children to practice the rule. Communicate with parents about what their children are learning.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lower class men in the Renaissance often wore what's called a poet shirt. This is a baggy shirt with large long sleeves, almost always white or off-white. Think of a classic pirate shirt. Look for one made of a natural fabric like cotton or linen. You can choose a different color if you want. Brown and olive green work well. Instead of a poet shirt, you can opt for a tunic if you wish. These are long-sleeved shirts that go lower than normal shirts. Look for something in a natural color and of a natural material. You might already own some cotton trousers that will work for the garb. If not, look for some in a dark color, dark brown or black. They should be long enough to tuck into boots. Fabric is the most important factor here. They didn't have denim back then, and plain khaki pants won't look right either. Look for a light fabric, preferably cotton or linen, or something that looks like cotton or linen. Alternatively, you can look for pants that come down to just past or just above the knee. If you can sew elastic into the openings to make them resemble bloomers, even better. The vest will make your basic male garb complete, besides the shoes and accessories. The vest should be dark colored like the pants, and simple and plain. A leather vest would be ideal, but you have a lot of freedom with fabrics here, so just look for something that you like the look of. Boots will complete your look, as your trousers should be tucked into them. Look for the most nondescript, basic black or brown leather boots you can find. Something like cowboy boots will not fit in. If you've chosen to wear pants that go to the knee instead, you could wear some leather sandals instead.

SUMMARY:
Find a shirt. Look for pants. Find a vest. Get some boots.
