Extra Credit Blog Due 11/6/08

Ok Guys......this is it......the last blog of the term, and its optional for extra credit!!!! I'm hearing alot of applause out there!!!

I have two options for you this week, and you may choose one of them if you desire extra credit this week.

Option 1 (5 points)
Simply find a current event that relates to the topics discussed in your class. Write the title of the article at the top of the page, summarize the article and tell me how it relates to your class. Don't forget to site your source. You must provide 1/2 page of information and label your paper according to the methods discussed in class.

Option 2 (10 points)
You must design a lesson or activity that could be used in your class. You must give the lesson a title, at least 3 objective or goals of the lesson, and write about what you would want the class to do. This must be an original activity that was not done in your class. Also know that I have done tons of research on different lessons, so am aware of what is out there. Have fun with this one!!
