NEW Extra Credit Possibilities!

As always, I'm constantly trying to find ways to allow you all to show me what you can do AND offer extra credit for those of you who may be interested. Here are a few extra credit ideas that you can take advantage of in the next two weeks. These offers expire when Mrs. Calder-Green returns to teach your class. Ms. Disher's last day is Friday, April 16.

* Write a rap, song, or poem about an experience you've had or a topic you're passionate about. It should be at least half a page long and use 2 literary devices that we've studied.

* Create a pictoral, musical, or other creative form of a memoir (a picture collage, powerpoint, website, cd, poster, etc). You may also write another memoir piece using a different memory, or write a "sequel" for your memoir explaining what happened next or how that event affected you in the long run.

* Create a wordle or write a 1-2 page narrative from the perspective of one of the characters from the novel The Bluest Eye or one of the poems you encountered in our poetry unit (for example, the speaker from "The Raven," or Annabel in "Annabel Lee").
