Extra Credit Opportunities

OK, students. Here are some things we need this week:

10.6 - Do you have access to a nice printer? Each chapter of A Tale of Two Cities was published with etched illustrations by Hablot Knight Browne. The pictures go along with the plot of each chapter, and would be nice to have in class. How does 10 points sound for bringing in all of them?

A slideshow or other visual presentation for this week's vocabulary words would also be a great asset to the class. Find a way to illustrate the meaning of the word, use a mnemonic device to help us remember the definition and/or spelling, and find a use of the word in music or pop culture. 5 points for 20 words!

10.4 - create a 4-5 minute presentation on the complete plot of either short story, "Everyday Use" or "Marriage is a Private Affair." Use as many visuals as possible, and list other forms of media (songs, poems, movies, etc.) that deal with the same topic as the story you select. 10 points.


Creative Writing - find a website with good ideas for collaborative writing assignments and email it to me. 2 points.

Somebody get on that. :)
Thanks!
