For Example:
YOU CAN ONLY DO MOVIE DOCUMENTARY or BOOK FROM THE FALL LIST FOR THE FALL SEMESTER. IN THE SPRING SEMESTER, YOU CAN ONLY USE THE SPRING SEMESTER LIST. (Same for Graphic Org)

2 GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS EXTRA CREDIT
Students must create two graphic organizers and turn them in before the end of the day on the last day of the nine week's period for extra credit.
The charts need to be designed from the content we have studied from that nine week's period ONLY. They must be on a piece of computer paper, basically a blank 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
No lined paper.
Graphic Organizers must be in color.
No black and white or pencil only.
MUST BE IN YOUR HANDWRITING - CAN NOT BE COMPUTER GENERATED.
Turning in two graphic organizers will boost the lowest quiz grade to a 100.
One Description for each Graphic Organizer:
On a separate sheet of paper for each chart, you must write a description of the chart in words.
Relate the chart to information covered in the textbook, give chapters, page numbers, and reference the material we have studied (or will study) during the semester.
Ex.: Cause & Effect -and- Venn Diagram
