Extra Credit
Extra credit options are usually worth 5 points. Extra credit points can make up for
any points lost except on final papers (except extra credit points earned by the paper
itself). In other words, write carefully!
Heres how you get your freebies:
- Publish anything (from a letter to the editor to your autobiography). Publishing makes
you feel differently about yourself as a writer. Bring me a copy (or photocopy) and attach
a note clearly identifying it as extra credit.
- Do a great job on any class writing assignment and give me a soft copy (on a disk or
e-mail it as an attachment in TEXT format) and written permission to use it to teach in
the future.
- Set up your own web page and e-mail me the URL to tell me where I can see it on the web.
Your page must have
*one picture or graphic of some kind
*one table
*two font colors and sizes
*a background color or pattern
*a link to another page
*a horizontal rule
*You can get free web space from www.geocities.com
and other places.
- Create an interactive Multi-Genre Paper (use HTML so it runs on a browser just like this
CD ROM. Get me a soft copy and give me permission to use it on this CD ROM).
- Any justifiable ideas you come up with (must be class-related, open and fair to
everyone)
- Read and respond to (and it must be quality response!) extra papers at Peer
Response Fest. I'll give you details.
