EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY!

You have been asking, so here's another extra credit opportunity!  

IF you complete the ENTIRE extra credit opportunity, I will replace your lowest DAILY WORK score with a 100%.  For a lot of you, the grade that would be replaced is the book check.  Other options could be Lit Work or Journals.  But in order to earn that, you must complete ALL of the following steps below by 8a on MONDAY, February 29th.

Either in a comment below OR on a piece of paper that is brought in to class, you must list at least FIVE of your favorite books.  No more than TWO of them can be picture books (which means the other three must have chapters).  After listing your favorite books, you must write at least one sentence for EACH book explaining why that is one of your favorite books.

If you have questions, let me know!  

HAVE FUN!

Snow Day Extra Credit



You have ANOTHER snow day, which means another extra credit opportunity!  This one is a throwback!

For FOUR points extra credit, either post a comment below or bring this information into class by 8a on WEDNESDAY, February 17th.  You must list each of the four types of conflict that we discussed in class and give an example for each.  You must have each example labeled with the type of conflict, and your example MUST be at least one complete sentence.

Let me know if you have any questions!  Be safe and have a lovely time!

HAVE FUN!

Parent-Teacher Conference Day EXTRA CREDIT!

Because you have a day off of school, you have an extra credit opportunity!

For FIVE points extra credit, either post a comment on this post OR bring in a written/typed response tomorrow (that you must turn in before the end of your block).  In your comment/response, tell me which one of your two Lit Circle books you like better SO FAR.  I know that you're only in week one/two, but tell me your current feelings.  You must point out at least THREE specific things that you like better about your chosen book.

Comment/respond away!  Let me know if you have questions!

HAVE FUN!
