Extra Credit Announced

Extra Credit 090, Spring 2010

(All extra credit must be received by instructor no later than April 29, 2010)

• Post Your Writing to Class Blog—1 point
One point extra credit will be given to anyone who posts their work on the class blog. In order to post, please send your work to my email at nancystohlman@gmail.com and put in the subject line: Please Post to Blog. Make sure your name is on you paper, of course. Keep in mind that I will not edit your paper for you but will post it as is, so make sure it’s ready before you post. Keep in mind that while you may choose to post more than once throughout the semester (great!), I’ll only give extra credit for the first post. Email to me no later than April 29.

• Create Your Own Blog—2 points
Two points extra credit will be given to anyone who starts their own blog as a result of this class and makes at least three posts of their own writing throughout the semester. In order to receive credit, please email me with the link to your blog by April 29.


• Attend a Literary Event and Write a Response—2 points
Two points extra credit will be given to anyone attending a literary event around town and then writing a one-page response to the event. The response should be written in the same format and with the same attention to detail as you would any other homework assignment. Below is a list of possible ongoing literary events, but if you find others not listed here, or one-time-events, please check with me first to make sure it will count. Papers must be received no later than April 29.
