The two girls decided to choose Thomas Edison for their project. They started by writing questions they wanted to answer:

Why is he famous?

During the next lesson, they went to the library to find books about Edison. Emma read carefully and took notes. Lily wrote down important facts.

«Please take out your pens and notebooks,» Mr. Adams continued. «You have twenty minutes.»

Kevin opened his notebook and looked at the first question. It was about fractions. He tried to remember the lesson, but his hands were shaking.

The student next to him, Sarah, smiled. She looked confident. Kevin whispered, «Do you understand this?»

«Yes,» Sarah said. «I studied yesterday.»

«Good job, everyone,» he said. «I know some of you found it difficult, but don’t worry. I will check your tests and give feedback next week.»
