Extra+credit+opportunities

I do not believe in extra credit. To get extra credit, it indicates that you have already received all the "regular credit" that is available. However, since so many of you ask me so often about the possibility of extra credit, I have decided to create some extra credit opportunities that you can undertake if you really want to do something that will be relevant to your studies and a valid way to expand your knowledge of Spanish culture and language.

Select a book by a Hispanic author that has some cultural connection - See me for a list of appropriate books. Write a one page (approx. 200 words) book report that summarizes and gives your opinion or make an appointment to chat with me about the book for 5 minutes //**__i__**// ** __//n Spanish//__ **. Be ready to answer questions and tell me about the book. You can consult my //Goodreads hispanic novel// recommendations in the left margin
 * 2. Hispanic novel assignment: **


 * 3. Play me on Angry Words! ** Download the app APALABRADOS onto your iPod touch or iPad. Start a game IN SPANISH with me. My user name is Srav. If you finish a game with me ( and especially if you beat me!!) you will receive extra credit. You must turn in a list of the words you played and their definitions. PS - you may not play during class time - any class!!! Must be done outside of school or in senior commons if you are a senior.
