AmerLit+-+Extra+Credit



 Here are some possibilities for extra credit. Though I'm sure all of you are doing spendidly in my class, here are grade boosters if you would like to take the trips:

Visit the Poe house! - [|link]  This is a great opportunity even if you're not going to do it for extra credit. To receive bonus points, please visit the house on a scheduled tour (bring multiple people from your class!) and then I ask you to write a response on the visit. Please bring in a 1 page (12 Times New roman, double spaced) reflection on the visit and please also bring in some proof of your visit (a picture of yourself with a landmark in the house).

Visit the world of Charles Dickens - [|link]  Specifically around Christmas time. This is a limited time offer and only comes around once a year. To receive bonus points, please go to the experience and write a 1 page reflection about the tour (12 Times New Roman, double spaced) and bring in a photo of yourself at the fair.

Group Video Project  With a group, you can make a video reenacting a piece of literature we've read in class. Can be a play, novel, poem, or short story. Please give me a copy of your finished video and you will receive the extra credit if it is reenacted respectfully to the author.

Independence Hall - [|link] What better way than researching about American literature than going to see the place where the most important document in our history was written! By yourself or with a group of people - take a trip to Independence Hall! To receive bonus points, write a 1 page reflection (12 Times New Roman, double spaced) and a picture of yourself at the historical site.

Good luck and enjoy!
