Be sure to mark spots in the book where you find interesting points, or where you find questions. Also be sure to look up any words that you do not know, and write the definition in the book to use as a reference later. ALSO- BE SURE TO TIME YOURSELF AS YOU READ THESE PAGES. I will ask you to report back to me, and I will use this class average as a way to decide the pages... so contribute to the average!
