Post date: Feb 01, 2017 6:20:40 PM

There is an actual...OFFICIAL...extra credit assignment for English 2 this year! There are 3 types and only ONE can be submitted on the due date: FEBRUARY 8, 2017. If you choose to do the assignment, it will be 10% of the points you've earned thus far in class.

Descriptions:

1. True War Story Article (1 person)– Take any of the stories you’ve read (or future ones if you’re ahead) and create a front page article on it. Make sure to explain on the back (or a separate sheet of paper) of the page WHAT makes a True War Story (based on “How to Tell a True War Story” chapter) and if the war story you chose is a true war story or not based on O’Brien’s criteria.

2. “Enemies” Fight Scene (2 people)– Re-create the fight scene between Strunk and Jensen. Either live or video-recording and turn in a paper that explains why the 2 men acted this way.

3. True War Story Newscast (2-4 people) – Take any story from the novel and create a fake News Station and give a breaking news news report. Either live or video-recording and turn in a paper that explains how your story is or is not a true war story based on O’Brien’s criteria.
