More on Extra Credit

Go to

Extra Credit

All extra credit opportunities from this year, except handing in work early, are still available through Friday, January 7.  When you hand it in, please include the date of the post you found the extra credit on.  


Memorize a quote:  5 points each if you can say a quote fluently to me.

“It is books that are a key to the wide world; if you can't do anything else, read all that you can.”   -- Jane Hamilton  

“Each time we re-read a book we get more out of it because we put more into it; a different person is reading it, and therefore it is a different book.”  -- ?

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” -- Ray Bradbury   (American science-fiction short stories and novels writer,1920) --
