Guidelines for Extra Credit in History Class

 

      QUESTIONS…

 

     1.  Why do you need extra credit?  Failure to study is not a valid answer.  I just don’t do well on tests is not a valid answer.  I forgot     my homework is not a valid answer.  Unless you are giving your 100%, you do not need extra credit.

 

     2.  Will I let you do extra credit?  Yes and No.

 

 

     Before you can get extra credit:

 

  1. Before doing any extra credit you must make an appointment with me before or after school to discuss why you are not meeting your expectations.
  2. You need to bring your notes, textbook, and be ready to spend 15 min. analyzing your study habits (most of the time I can pinpoint your problem right away).
  3. What kind of problems could you have?  Laziness, Forgetfulness, Too many things to do other than school, Disability, Bad Study Habits just to name a few.

4.  Why do I need to do this to get extra credit?   My goal is to fix the problem that is causing you to make undesirable grades.  I do not want you to think you to have to depend on extra work to make      decent grades.

5.  Finally you need to make a commitment to doing a better job with your regular school work.  If you do not make this   commitment then I will not let you do extra credit.

 

 

Extra Credit Assignment:

 

  1. You need to go back to the last chapter we studied and think of a way you can relearn this information.
  2. You need to put this together in a creative way (poster boards are not creative).
  3. You must write out your proposal (form below) and bring it to me before you begin doing your extra credit.  I must approve the project.
  4. Remember, I will award you extra credit points based on what you did.  If you spend very little time on the project then you can expect to get very little extra credit points.
  5. Extra credit can only be done once per six weeks. This must be turned into me two days before the end of the six weeks.  If it is late, it will go on the following six weeks.
