I will be assigning extra assignments that can be used for English
and/or Electives (or sometimes other content areas).
These are assignments/ projects that are BEYOND the packets you have to work on, and each will be worth a set number of points (that you can earn UP to).
I will be assigning these on your Google Classrooms, but also uploading here.
