Extra Credit Opportunities

Beyond promoting the safety and comfort of our community of learners by offering extra credit for bringing in tissue or hand-sanitizer, there is another option for extra credit.

In an effort to encourage students to synthesize their knowledge from the classroom into the real world, students may gain 5 extra credit points if they turn in a print out (hard copy) of a simple sentence or a compound sentence that they identified in their own personal choice novel or The Outsiders.

Just like in class, they would need to underline the subject(s) and put brackets [ ] or circle around the predicate(s).

They also need to include the name of the author, the page number, and the title of the novel.

For example:

"The idea of cutting and sewing the dress by herself [was] novel and exciting."
