Extra+Credit+Options


 * In my classes, I have an ever-present opportunity for extra credit that involves finding **vocabulary words.**

If you are: 1) reading something outside class, reading a novel in my class,and see one of your vocabulary words - from any unit we've done during the current year 2) use the word in your writing in any class or 3) hear the word used then you can simply show me the quote in your book, newpaper, magazine, etc. and receive one point of extra credit per word which will be added to your weekly vocabulary quiz. Up to ten words per week are allowed.

The offer stands whether I mention it or not. It's an opportunity designed to reward you for reading outside of class, for reading attentively, and for learning the vocabulary words.
