Typos and Missing Text are Problematic

Fixing some typos on the fly, but then discovered there's a paragraph missing. It's cute and has some good questions, but not up to par for what one should be able to expect.

I loved this for my class. If you teach 45-50 minute classes, I would block out about 3-4. The first day, I read the entire thing as if I were serious. The next we read it again with the knowledge of the passage and complete the notes. The next 1-2 days you can do the other assignments. That is what worked best for me!
