Here are some ways to get extra credit for your first quarter grade:
-10 pts. each. Read any other story in "unit 1" of your textbook and answer the "review and assess" questions at the end of it.
-10 pts. each. Read any "book" of Le Morte D'Arthur and write two good paragraphs of analysis about what it teaches you about Arthur and what it teaches you about chivalry.
-10 pts. each. Write an original, creative, funny "top 10" list like the one I did here (well, mine only has three). The subject? Anything Arthurian or Beowulf...ian.
-25 pts. each. Watch any of the following movies: Camelot (the musical), First Knight, The Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, Beowulf and Grendel. Write a two-paragraph review of what the movie teaches you about Britain that you didn't know and how one of the movie's characters appeals to you.
-25 pts. each. Write a good article (editorial, film/music review, news) for the school newspaper The Knight Insight. Get it published for extra credit!
All of these extra credit opportunities are valid for the whole year, not just for the first quarter!
