Extra Credit Opportunities

(see below for content standards)

1. Writing Prompts:  You know those "Journal Writes" that we do occasionally?  Come up with some good writing prompts that are interesting for students but also incorporate class material.  For example, The Spanish American War, Women's Suffrage, World War I, Presidential Elections, Invention, etc.
2. Project Ideas:  Come up with a new approach to a lesson plan.  Instead of "Read the chapter and answer these questions" give me some projects or lesson ideas.  Maybe do some Googling and find some good lessons for a specific topic from the class that interests you.
3. Good Supplemental Videos:  When I cover a topic from the book I like to show short clips from movies or documentaries to help illustrate the lesson.  Find good clips that are interesting to students and get the links to me to check out.
4. Decorations:  We could really use more classroom decorations.  Maybe an old railroad lantern or a coal miner's helmet or some things to hang on the wall.  My "US 101" sign has been popular so maybe a 25W or I75 road sign -- or a STOP sign or a WRONG WAY sign.  (Don't take them from the streets!)
5. Classroom Needs:  We really need book shelves, a large clock, and some wall hangings.
6. Mannequins:  We have discussed putting in mannequins (one male and one female) that we could dress up in clothes of the period we are covering.  If you know any places to find mannequins cheap, that would be fun.  Also, if you have clothing/costumes for mannequins for when we DO get them, that would be great.
7. Assisting:  Passing out papers, taking attendance, keeping the classroom clean, erasing/cleaning desks, etc. are good ways of getting some extra credit points.

CONTENT STANDARDS:

• U.S. History
• World History
• Economics

Journal Write: City vs. Country

ACT Extra Credit

While I am not a proponent of testing [in general], I am an advocate of doing well on the ACT because it can help you get into the college you want, help you get scholarships, and it allows colleges to find you based on your scores and interest inventory.  For that reason, I am choosing to offer extra credit for those who take the ACT and do well.

• "20 Point Club":  50 Extra Credit Points
• "30 Point Club":  100 Extra Credit Points
• "32 Point Club":  Grade Bump (up one grade)

ACT Score must be shown to me by the last day of school.
