EXTRA+CREDIT

In my classes, I have an ever-present opportunity for extra credit that involves finding vocabulary words.

If you are reading something outside class or reading a novel in my class and see one of your vocabulary words - from any unit we've done during the current year - then you can write down the quote and the page number and hand it in for 5 points of extra credit. You may submit up to five words each quarter (they need to be different words each time) for as many as 25 extra credit points (that is often an extra 5% on your quarter grade).

The offer stands whether I mention it or not. If I believe you've actually read what you're submitting (and don't think you simply entered a vocab word into Google), then I'll give you the points. It's an opportunity designed to reward you for reading!

This opportunity is available for BOTH my English I & English II classes! Happy hunting!

- I always welcome supplies and offer 2 points for the following (max. of 10 points per quarter):
 * Kleenex
 * Hand sanitizer
 * Pencils (#2)
 * Pens (BLUE OR BLACK)
 * Staples
 * Paper clips
