Extra Credit


Eligibility

All students who no more than one zero for any quarter may work on extra credit projects for that quarter. A proposal for the work must be submitted to the teacher prior to doing the work. No project may earn more than 50 points extra credit. All points are added to that quarter's grade. Projects turned in without prior permission will not receive credit.

Writing the proposal

The proposal should take the form of a letter (can also be emailed) and must include the following:

  • A statement of your eligibility

  • The reason you want to do the work (beyond wanting to earn points to improve your grade)

  • A complete description of the work to be done, including any urls, titles of resources, and materials needed

  • A timeline for beginning and completing the project

  • A suggested point value for the work and a justification for that suggestion

Wait for acceptance of your proposal before beginning work on your project.
