Extra Credit

At some point, usually at the end of the marking period, someone always asks me if there is any extra credit they can complete to improve their grade.  You will be happy to know, YES there are some extra credit assignments that you may complete.  There are TWO types of extra credit that are available to you all year long.  HOWEVER, they need to be submitted a few days prior to the end of each marking period.

The First type of Extra Credit is Current Events

The Second type of Extra Credit is Independent Reading

Independent Reading requires more work, and so it is worth more points.  It does not require you to read an entire book within the marking period.  How much I will ask you to read is based on the book you choose.  I have created my own classroom library with over 2000 different books in it.  I created a website so you can browse through the books that I have and then I would deliver the book to you at your school.  This assignment would have to be started earlier in the marking period than the Current Events assignment.

For today, I first suggest you go back through the tasks that were assigned to you throughout the week and make sure you have completed all of them.  Then, take some time today and review what is required of you for a Current Event assignment.  If you are interested in Independent Reading, I would suggest you first browse through the books available to you and then you can look at what the assignments would require.
