EXTRA CREDIT DIRECTIONS
 
Extra credit IS allowed, up to 5 points for a semester (it's added to the final grade, so 5 points can mean a lot).  This page gives you the information you need to know; make sure you read it carefully.  Especially note that you can only earn one point per month, and if you miss a month's extra credit, then it's gone; you may not go back and do it later.

DIRECTIONS:
 
1.  For each month, choose any two of the worksheets listed in the Extra Credit folder at the online dropbox folder link for your course (you'll find this link at the bottom of this page).  Only a maximum of two worksheets will be counted for each month (1/2 point for each one).  You are welcome to do more of the worksheets, since you might find some of them interesting and do them for fun and learning, but they will not count as extra credit. 
2.  Follow each pages' directions exactly, to complete them correctly.  
3.  Turn them in to room 3 by the Thursday after turn-in day each month (for Month 10, the deadline is the next-to-last day of school -- NOT the last day).   
4.  DO NOT PUT EXTRA CREDIT WITH MONTHLY WORK, OR WITH RETURNED TEST CORRECTIONS, OR ANYTHING ELSE.  It goes separately in a designated box in room 3.
5.  Put it in room 3 in the DESIGNATED EXTRA CREDIT BOX.  Don't put it anywhere else.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
--->  ONE POINT PER MONTH, MAXIMUM.  Each month's extra credit is worth 1 full point added on to the FINAL grade at the end of the semester, after everything else is scored and averaged.  That means if you have an 87%, B, for your final semester grade, the extra credit (if you do all five month's worth) brings it up to 92%, A.  Although 1 point doesn't sound like much, it's a lot if it's added to the final grade as in this case.  
--->  TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.  Yes, you're expected to put in the time to get the right answers--or reasonably close.  I will grade these for following directions, completion, and accuracy...in other words, take them seriously.  If you don't do something correctly, you'll earn partial credit.  So in one month you might earn .75 instead of a full point.  It might be zero if it looks like it wasn't done seriously.  If it's done seriously but a little bit is not quite correct, don't worry, it will almost certainly still earn full credit.
 
--->  MAKE SURE IT'S TURNED IN BY THE DUE DATE.  The due dates listed above really are absolute.  You even have a few extra days each month beyond the end of the school month (except month 10, of course). 
 
---> ONLY ONE MONTH AT A TIME, AND NO GOING BACK.  Extra credit for a month can only be done for that one month, and cannot be done during another month (except the first four days, since the due date is set up that way).  Each month's extra credit expires on that month's particular due date.  Students can't wait until the end of the semester and then try to do more extra credit; it's only one month at a time.  Part of the reason for this is because the assignments match the concepts you are learning that month.  There will be different choices for the next month, and you cannot go back and do any of the past month's extra credit assignments.
 
REMINDERS:
---> Only two pages will count each month. You're welcome to do more for fun and extended learning, but more pages will not give you more points. 
---> You cannot earn more than one point of extra credit for any one month, no matter what. 
---> You cannot earn extra credit for past months; there is no "make up" extra credit. 
---> If you miss a month's deadline, you won't be able to earn that month's extra credit, only future month's.  
--->  Finally, when you turn in the extra credit, it is ONLY to be turned in to the designated box that is in room 3 (look for the sign on it).  Never put it with your monthly work packet..
