Devil's Arithmetic Day 1: Exposition---Hannah Doesn't Want to Go!

Today with our 25 minutes, we read aloud the 1st chapter in DA (Devil's Arithmetic).  I then handed out questions for chapters 1 and 2 (see below).  These are to be completed in FULL/COMPLETE SENTENCE ANSWERS on a sheet of loose leaf.
