EXTRA CREDIT FOR ALL CLASSES!
We’ve worked hard with our vocabulary, so I hope that you are noticing some of the words in your personal reading.
For extra credit, you may do the following:
1. Find a sheet of unlined paper (if you need one, see me).
2. Write your name and class block on the paper.
3. READ! READ! READ! Cut out and glue any appropriate sentence with any vocabulary word that we have studied. No, do not cut up your library books or your Mama’s personal collection of books, etc. For those, you may photocopy the part that you need. I will also accept words in headlines but you must cut out the entire headline. Single words are not allowed.
You are not allowed to use words that you found on the internet!
4. Beside the sentence, write the source (e.g. Newsweek, Twilight, etc.). You do not need to do a full citation; just write the title of the source.
5. Number the words.
Guidelines–
1. You will receive 1 point extra credit added to your quiz grades for every 3 words that you find.
2. I will accept a MAXIMUM of 15 points.
3. REMINDER AGAIN– You are NOT allowed to copy words from the internet. In other words, you can’t google “gullible” and print out the sentences.
4. These are due during YOUR CLASS on March 1 and 2.
Good Luck!
