In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

If you need a topic for a project, like an English project, but you don't know where to find one, ask your teacher for some ideas. She/He may be surprised to see that you are interested in doing your work. Go to the library, and research your topic. Find magazine articles, newspaper clippings,or how they dressed, what they imported/exported, and what were the most important things that happened during that time period. Find key information. If you have 1 month to do a book report, spend the next day getting books from the library, 1 week reading it, etc. It's a lot easier when you have a plan. Ask them to take you to Walmart, Longs Drugs, or any other store near you that sells tri-fold boards or big poster board. If you wait until the night before your project is due, you will be in trouble and you may not have enough time to do everything you need to. If you don't want to do your whole project in one day, make a plan to accomplish your goal of completing the project. If you get a Tri-Fold Board, put a time-line on one of the tri-fold parts, and on the other one, put the most important thing (if it's a company) they sell and (if it's a time period) how the people dressed and what music they listened to. If it's a person,artist, or band, put their music or any random fun facts about them the most important thing. The most important part is the essay. In your essay, you always need an introduction and thesis statement (main idea), 3 body paragraphs, a conclusion, a bibliography, and a reference page. In your introduction paragraph, you need to wake up your classmates when you read it. Start out with something that will catch their attention. For example: if it's on the atomic bombs, dress up as a mad scientist or the person who made them and act out what you say, jump around. You could start out with, Boom! (Jump towards the students) In (year A to year B) the Atomic Bomb was created! I, (whoever made the atom bomb), was (and so on). The reports can be really boring when you hear them so try to keep the students awake and not falling asleep. If you see someone starting to get bored, improvise and wake them up! Get some help and make your board colorful with bold fonts and rainbow colors.

Summary:
Choose your topic. Don't procrastinate; get started! Plan. Tell your parents or guardians that you have a project. Work at least 20 minutes every day. Complete the accompanying essay before you do your board. Grab their attention. Have fun!
