Extra Credit

The following steps will earn you "points" that count toward your final grade. Completing each step will earn you a certain number of points. These points will directly increase the final percentage of your final grade. Each one is worth at least one "10" on a quiz.

1. Review the comments that were made on your blog. Review the blog. Revise the blog according to the suggestions or according to what you believe is the most "excellent" your blog could be in relationship to the assignment. ONE POINT.

2. Email the professor and ask to leave thoughtful, 125-word comments on someone else's blogs. You will do this for two blogs by two different students you've never commented upon before. ONE and a HALF POINTS.

3. Blog: Hunger Games and Racism. Read the following article linked HERE. Summarize that article in a blog, and discuss how you believe racist fans read novels based on their reaction to the film. Add anything else you find interesting in your reaction. ONE POINT.

Each of these steps will together you 3.5 points on your final grade. This would push an 85 to an 88.5, or a B to a B+.
