Extra+Credit

You will not be eligible for extra credit if you are missing any work. If you are not happy with your grade, I suggest that you make sure you've rewritten any low essays and retaken any low test grades before you complete extra credit. If however, you feel you need the extra help, you may complete the following assignments (depending on which unit we're in). You will not be able to complete the extra credit for non fiction if we've already moved onto fiction. The extra credit is due by the day of the assessment. Please feel free to see me if you need any guidance.
