Books
We meet William Kamkwamba.
Now, William later.
From his book. His website.
Daybook work: We go to the library, where you look at the books on the shelves upstairs. You must find at least three titles that interest you. In your daybook, list the title, author, and what you would expect to find out if you were to read the book. If you have time, begin to read.
