Spring Break Extra Credit

The end of the quarter is rapidly approaching. This is your last chance to improve your grade. What better way to spend Spring Break than expaning your mind!

Extra Credit Opportunities

• Read a book and write a quality review.
• Take a picture of yourself for the "Caught in the Act of Reading" Bulletin Board. This picture should be of you reading a book in an interesting place--your back yard, at the beach, in a coffee shop, under a tree, or even a nook of your bedroom. We want to see you reading!
• Revise one of your essays for more points (be sure to pick it up before you go on break).

Update

With only two weeks until Spring Break, we have a lot to do. Fortunately, most of it will be done in class. There are several BIG assignments coming up that could have a great impact on student grades for the quarter.

--Research Project--100 points--Students will create and present PowerPoint presentations based on the research. The PowerPoint and Speech are worth 50 points and the Process Folder is worth 50 points.
--Play--50 points--we are working on producing play to be performed in class. Rehearsals are worth 25 points and the performance is worth 25 points. Students can earn extra credit by memorizing their lines for the play.
--Quarter 3 Vocab/Grammar Test--50 points--this will cover all the vocab and grammar for this quarter.
--Quarter 3 County Assessment--40 points--This is a county-wide mandatory test to check student preparation for the HSAs.

Because most of this must be done in school, it is essential that all students are present and focused each day for the next several weeks. Thank you for your ongoing support!
