2013 EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS

MR. NUNLEY 10^TH GRADE ENGLISH YEAR –END EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS

At the request of several students and parents, extra credits assignments will be allowed.  If you would like to improve your grade with a little with extra credit, I believe you must have already done the rest of the work for the class. Extra credit is not a way to make up for other work you have chosen not to complete.

Students will be able to receive 15 points per extra credit assignment completed.  All assignments must be typed in 12-font and double spaced, with the exception of the library visit. A student may raise his/her grade by a maximum of 10 percentage points through extra credit. All assignments must be completed by June 03, 2013.

Extra Credit may be earned in one of the following ways:

1.     Students may choose a quote of their own and respond in the Daily Writing format.

2.     Students may choose a newspaper article and write a 2-3 paragraph summary, entitled “Current Event”.  Article must be no older than one week. To be considered current.

3.     Student may visit their local library for one (1) hour and have the librarian sign this form to confirm that they were their working on the research project.  Librarian must also attach their business card to this document that student actually attended the library.
