Your test will cover "Blind but Happy," "A Good Night," "A Spark Neglected Burns the House," "The Place of Peace," "The Night the Bed Fell," and the second most recent set of The Black Arrow's comprehension questions. I can't remember the page numbers for that set of sheets, so you can ask me about it on Monday.
Our test will just be the comprehension questions for each story.
If you have any questions, feel free to call me! My internet is currently not working at home, so don't ask me questions on the website.
