Extra Credit Opportunity - Sentence Composing Journal with Color-Coding


IMPORTANT UPDATE:
1. Sentences in all caps will not be accepted. 
2. Sentences should either be in Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman and be at 12 point font.
3. If you did color code your journal, name the file turned into Turnitin.com with the word "Color Coded" as in "Sentences 1-39 Color Coded."

********************

After careful consideration, I've decided to allow students to submit their sentence composing journals (with mentor and original for sentences #001 - #039 ) earlier than planned, this Friday, the final due date for the marking period being Monday morning at 8:15 AM.

Students who have color-coded, underlined, and [bracketed] all of their sentences will be eligible for 20 points of extra credit as a bonus for going above and beyond.

Students who have only done part of the color-coding, underlines, and brackets may earn 5 points of extra credit.

And all students who have kept up with their daily sentence composing journals and have all 39 sentences (including the mentor sentences, so really 78 sentences) will receive 40 easy points for classroom participation.

The format should look like the following:

#001 Mentor Sentence
This is where the mentor sentence would go.

#001 My Sentence
This is where the student's sentence would go.

#002 Mentor Sentence
This is where the mentor sentence would go.

#002 My Sentence
This is where the student's sentence would go.

#003 Mentor Sentence
This is where the mentor sentence would go.

#003 My Sentence
This is where the student's sentence would go.

... Etc.
