If you are interested in bringing your grade up or need to bring your grade up because of a low score you can opt for Extra Credit by doing one of the follow assignments. There is no limit to how many extra credit assignments you can turn in. This extra credit is due by THURSDAY, Dec. 18.
- Choose ANY film you'd like (obviously nothing vulgar or inappropriate so please use your best judgement, my suggestion is to keep it G, PG, PG13) watch it, and write a TWO page paper following the directions below. Worth a daily grade of 50 (if your lowest grade is above a 50 then this will add +5 to that grade).
- Choose a film playing IN THEATERS and provide proof that you went to see it (ticket stub etc.) and write a THREE page paper following the directions below.Worth a daily grade of 70 (if your lowest grade is above a 70 then this will add +10 to that grade)
