English 1 Extra Credit Opportunity

Extra Credit Opportunity for English 1

For those of you looking for an opportunity to receive extra credit, I am offering the opportunity to earn up to 50 extra credit points.

What do you need to do?

1)   Attend one of the events I have listed below. I will probably add more if I find something interesting throughout the semester.

2)   By December 9 hand in a 2-3 page paper describing what the event was, what you learned, if you liked it or not and why. Paper must be typed to receive extra credit points.

4)   Please note that I will only list events that are free, however, some of the events do require pre-registration. Make sure to check out the web links that I provide for more details.
