EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY!

Ok, you guys have been bugging me for an extra credit opportunity, so here you go!

For THREE points extra credit each, find an example of incorrect/improper English in a song. You must include the title of the song, the artist, and the improper English. Then you must CORRECT it so that it fits the rules of proper grammar.

You can turn in as many of these as you want, but you MUST have them completed by October 30th. I will NOT accept any after that point. You have to complete all of the steps above in order to get the extra credit. You can either post your answers here to the blog (but make sure you include your first name and last initial if you do that), or you can turn them in to me on a piece of paper in class.

Oh my goodness, make sure they're school appropriate, too.

Capisce?

Have fun!
