Ok, here's ANOTHER extra credit opportunity.
For TWO points extra credit each, you can submit words to be used for our "Word of the Day." There are a couple of requirements:
2. You must have the part of speech and the definition for your word.
3. Use your word correctly in a sentence.
Once again, you can either post your words here in a comment on the blog, or you can turn them in to me in class.
I'm capping this extra credit opportunity at 10 words (so a maximum of 20 points of extra credit). You can complete as many or as few as you like. However, ALL of the words must be turned in by November 30th. I will not accept ANY new words after that point (until I maybe do this again sometime during 2nd semester...but no guarantees!).
Have fun!
