Directed Reading - Beyond Einstein

[Jeremy2012x]

In preparation for district, I was thinking that maybe we could quiz each other on Chapters 5 and 6 (for District 1)

Also, only these two chapters will be tested on the District 1 test, correct? It's not 1-6?

It will only be chapters 5 and 6.

I read the book, and I let someone borrow it. I told him to bring it back before Spring Break, so I can re-read it before TMSCA State. I really need that book!

Good questions, I had to check double-check myself on several of them! I've already read the book, so my study plan is to focus on Chapter 5 until Tuesday (at which point I go to Disney with the band lol) and to study Chapter 6 the week leading up to District.

Here are a few other questions for chapter 5:
