1. EXTRA CREDIT REVIEW:

You MUST write in your 250 word review of the film how it relates back to the textbook

Name chapters, page numbers, and explain how this video related to content studied (or that would be studied) this semester.

The review can be worth up to 20% added to your lowest test score of the nine week's period.

It will not bump ANY single test score above 100% and will only be added to the lowest score - period.

This does not transfer to any other type of grade - tests only.

You need to print the Review Form, fill it out and follow all of the directions on the form.

Your printer is broken???? If needed, re-write the Review Form exactly. That'll work.

Be sure to gain a parent signature after completion.

2. GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS EXTRA CREDIT

Students must create two graphic organizers and turn them in before the end of the day on the last day of the nine week's period for extra credit.

The charts need to be designed from the content we have studied from that nine week's period ONLY. They must be on a piece of computer paper, basically a blank 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

No lined paper.

Graphic Organizers must be in color.

No black and white or pencil only.

Turning in two graphic organizers will boost the lowest quiz grade to a 100.

One Description for each Graphic Organizer:

On a separate sheet of paper for each chart, you must write a description of the chart in words.

Relate the chart to information covered in the textbook, give chapters, page numbers, and reference the material we have studied (or will study) during the semester.
