Extra+Credit

====I don't usually offer extra credit, because in theory I think it should be more difficult than simply doing the regularly assigned work in the first place. That said, I'm going to experiment with offering it this marking period to see how it goes. Basically, to get extra credit in my class you will need to "publish" a piece of original writing on our website.====

Read carefully for the instructions on how to earn your extra credit points. If you do not follow the directions, your piece will be returned to you without credit.


 * The submitted piece must be your own, and must be from this marking period (not something finished before marking period 3).
 * The submitted piece must NOT be a rough draft - no homework assignments, ramblings, in-class exercises, etc. These pieces should be worked on and revised, and represent your best work.
 * You may submit as many pieces as you like for extra credit as long as all of the rules are followed correctly.
 * Every 50 words = 1 extra credit point. (You may add poems together to reach 50 words or more)
 * Maximum 20 points per marking period. (That's 1000 words!)
 * Only one piece may be published anonymously for extra credit (this is to ensure quality writing, not just quantity for points).
 * You must have a signed permission slip to be able to publish a piece on the website.
 * Each piece must be accompanied by an Extra Credit Submission Form. [[file:Extra Credit Submission.doc]]
 * Each piece must be electronically submitted through email, Google Docs, or any other method.
