Extra Credit

Extra Credit #1 If you haven't figured out by now- I love all things cultural. Attend any cultural event- write a review- earn extra credit points! Tell me about an event so I can post it on this blog.

Extra Credit #2 Visual Vocabulary: right now I am looking for visuals for several units coming up and accompaning vocabulary ask me what words to tackle.

Extra Credit #3 Help instructor- I have more things I want to do than hands or time to accomplish them. Offer your services!

Extra Credit #4 Movie Mania- I love films and like to discuss them. Watch a film you've cleared with me first. Then critique it- I'll ask you to look at directorial choices, editing, lighting, scripts, and so on. Maybe you can compare the film to the book. Or compare two versions of the same film from different decades.

Extra Credit #5 Read an additional novel each quarter and complete a novel project, study guide, and review of the book.

Extra Credit #6 Donate college, military, and technical school/training information to our NEW class library of post graduation options.

Extra Credit #7 Dress up for spirit days, pep rallys, hat days, cultural days, and other events. I have spirit- yes I do- I have spirit- how about you? To create a strong community you have to be a part of it!

Extra Credit #8 Individual contracts generated by students at student request. Teacher signs the contract and sets deadlines.

There is NO excuse to fail or for failing to earn the grade you want.
