Extra Credit

EXTRA CREDIT- points go towards homework grade for WHS grade. Don't forget to upload documents to turnitin.com in addition to turning in the hard copy.

5 monthly puntos de extra crédito (websites on my useful links page):

Quia: Complete a minimum of 3 activities on the Quia webpages and e-mail me (using Estimada Señora Torrie y Sinceramente) a paragraph summary IN SPANISH of what games you played, what concepts you practiced, what was challenging or helpful to you and your score for each game.

Duolingo: You may also play 20 minutes of Duolingo games and find the PROGRESS SHARING link under your profile to share your activity with me. Our class code is d6cs6j37. I then receive a weekly "summary" email with your progress. If you don't see your points after a week, send me an email. My username is rtorriensd.

You can find the Quia and Duolingo webpages for your class under the "Useful Links" button. Quizlet is also accepted if you work for 20 minutes, explain in a paragraph of what you played, and include screenshots.

10 puntos de extra crédito: You may do 3 of the following extra credit assignments per semester at ten points maximum per assignment. Viewing or participating in a cultural event is accepted, but you must do a write-up as outlined below**.

  1. Attend a Spanish Club gathering; these are typically once a month (2 per semester) and last for about two hours. Spanish Club will provide an attendance verification, therefore you do not need any other proof of attendance.
  2. View a culturally relevant Spanish film from the list below; you must provide either a rental receipt, photo OR a parent note verifying that you watched the film . Additionally, you will need to do a write-up as outlined below. In addition to turning in a hard copy to the inbox, essays will also need to be submitted into http://turnitin.com. Be sure to ask parent permission before viewing each movie.
  3. Attend a cultural event in the community. Approved list in on the Cultural Portfolio page. You may not use the same activity for your cultural portfolio and extra credit.
  4. **For each WHS extra credit assignment you will need to include a write-up in the form of an "email" (that you will actually print out and turn in) to me using "Estimada" & "Sinceramente", & in the Ud. form. For 350, you need to type a half-page, double-spaced in Spanish. For AP, I would like a full page. Please include:
    • A brief summary of the event, movie, etc.
    • Your reflective opinion of what you experienced. What did you like/dislike? Did you recognize or learn any new Spanish words, phrases, etc.? What cultural aspects did you observe?
