You can complete one extra credit assignment per quarter. There are many ways to get this credit. If you visit a museum or anywhere that has a historical importance, you can write a one-page essay about your experience there and receive up to 5 extra credit points. I will usually let students know when events that qualify are happening, such as renaissance fairs and cultural festivals.
We also will play Jeopardy over the course of the school year, and winning teams will receive points.
