8th Grade Social Studies Extra Credit Opportunities
Directions: These extra credit opportunities apply to each quarter throughout the year. Follow these guidelines to take advantage of the extra credit.
What Can I Make Up? - Each quarter you can make up two classwork/homework assignments and one project assignment.
How Do I Make Them Up? - If you did not complete the original assignment that you are making up you must first submit that assignment and then submit an extra credit assignment. If you submitted the original assignment and did not get an acceptable grade, you need to submit an extra credit assignment to replace the grade.
How Much Is the Extra Credit Worth? - You can receive up to full credit on any assignment as long as you have the original assignment submitted and the extra credit assignment to replace the grade.
What Extra Credit Assignments Must I Complete? - If you are making up a classwork/homework assignment you must complete a Classwork/Homework Extra Credit Assignment from the list below. If you are making up a project assignment you must complete a Project Extra Credit Assignment from the list below.
What Topics Can I Choose? - You can choose any topic that we have covered in class as the subject for your extra credit. For example if you choose to complete a Historical Facebook Profile as one of your extra credit assignments, you could complete the profile on Abraham Lincoln if we have covered the Civil War.
What App Can I Use? - You can use any app as long as you can submit it by e-mail to me at [email protected].
How Do I Turn the Extra Credit In? - Do not turn your extra credit in on Google Drive. I'm not going to go searching each day to see if anyone turned in their extra credit. What you need to do is send an e-mail with the extra credit assignment and the original assignment attached in one e-mail! The subject of the e-mail must be "Extra Credit." Remember, the only e-mail I will accept work submitted to is [email protected].
