If you did take it, look at your new ZPD.Write it down on your Reading Log on page 62 of your Brain. Then make sure that the book you are currently reading is within your ZPD and is a book that you are interested in!
2. Complete SA #3 Analysis. Read the directions carefully and ask questions if you're confused.
