Extra Credit:
-- Students can receive extra credit for each quarter.
-- To do so they need to do extra work related to
the chapters we cover during that quarter.
-- It can be anything from a report, to a map, to an
imaginative essay pretending you are alive during
an historical event writing to someone else, etc.
-- If you cannot think of anything else, you can
work on the chapter reviews at the end of
chapters we cover during that quarter.
-- Extra credit will be added to your grade only
at the end of the quarter.
