Do you want to earn extra credit, challenge yourself, or continue to learn about a topic we're studying? Then the extension activities are for you! I have posted various activities for your completion. If you're participating simply to learn more, kudos to you! But, if like many students, you want an opportunity to improve your scores, then turn in the completed work to me. Work that is accurate, conscientious, and thoughtful will earn you a 100 with which to replace your lowest grade. I have one rule: all regular assignments must be done first. Good luck, and see me if you need help! :)

You may always earn extra credit by producing quality flash cards, sentences or pictionary slides for Wordly Wise. 10 points added to your quiz grade!

Write both poems -- a Poem in Two Voices and a Blended Poem --  turn one in for a grade and the other for extra credit!

Watch Randy Pausch's Last Lecture clip on youtube.com and do the attached activity for extra credit!
