Due tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 1, Honors Students in Periods 1 and 3 and ALL STUDENTS IN PERIOD 5 owe me what was the Extra Credit Assignment from two weeks ago, the California Budget Balancer, including the 500 word summary. To turn this assignment into Extra Credit, learn how to create a Dropbox by reading further below on this blog, create a specific folder for your period, and INVITE me to share in that folder - where you will put your summary file in a Word document.
Non-Honors students may of course earn up to nine pointes Extra Credit by completing this assignment.
In addition, although this opportunity was offered by Mr. Krohn in Period 3, I will award up to nine points Extra Credit for completing either, or both of the FINAL TWO EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES:
1) Write 550 words in a Word or Google Document about why you feel our Government is non-functional. Indicate areas of strength and weaknesses you have learned about during the course of our Semester and explain your perspective. Up to nine extra credit points.
2) Complete a visual presentation (Completely different) from your Final Project - although you could incorporate elements if you chose - of your learning(s) in this course. What are you more aware of and curious about after having "invested" 17 weeks of your high school time in an American Government class? Your presentation should be either in Powerpoint, Prezi, or a Windows Movie Maker file in order that it be most easily reviewed by Mr. Krohn or myself.
These two FINAL EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES are due first-thing the morning of December 12, and no late arrivals will be accepted. Send them via Dropbox and see what happens to your final grade :)
