Quarter 2 Extra Credit Options
The following options are being accepted as extra credit for the second quarter ONLY. Extra credit will be accepted until 12/19/13.
1. Quack Words Diorama Create a 3-dimensional presentation of one of our Quack Words. It should be a visual representation of the definition of the word, with the word displayed. You may use any materials you can find and it must be materials you do not want to keep. It must be at least as large as a shoebox. While not the most quality example, to give you an idea of what is expected (and I expect yours to be more neatly put together) an example is here. 2. Research a Famous Writer Create a poster for a famous writer, living or dead. Your poster must be in color and neatly put together. No excess glue or pieces not firmly glued down! No pre-school scribbles or messy embellishments! The poster needs to include the biography of your writer, samples of their work, quotes they may have said, and pictures of the writer and their work. Spend careful time on this or I will not accept it. Quarter 1 Extra Credit Options
