Vocab Bonus Due 3/14 (35/35) = Attend school play. Write about your experience using 10 vocab words from unit 9. Underline each word and use it the correct way. MLA format. All or nothing grade.
Writing Bonus Due 4/11 (30/30) = Interview your oldest family members for family stories you don't know yet. What was his or her first car? First date? What is his or her first memory of school, first job? How did he or she celebrate holidays as a young child? What was his or her favorite present, favorite pet, birthday celebration? These are just suggestions. One day, you may be happy you asked these things and wrote them down. You just may enjoy listening to your relatives spin tales from their past! Everyone has interesting stories to tell. For this bonus, your paper must be in MLA format and at least 4 full pages long. This is worth MORE THAN your research paper, so do a great job!
Reading Bonus Due 5/9 (100/100) = Yes, this is worth MORE than a unit test, so follow the directions CLOSELY. Can be done individually or in groups of 2 to 4. However, the paper is to be written individually.
* Decide on an opera (not a musical) to watch and if you will watch it alone or in a group, and have all that approved by me ahead of time. Also, you must read about it, the whole article on Wikipedia, and tell me about it individually before being approved. You will get a "ticket" from me that proves you have my permission to proceed with this assignment. You may not submit a paper without this.
* Be sure you can rent it or watch it, full length, on youtube. Real operas are around 2 hours long. (For the REAL THING, Atlanta Opera does have one coming up. La Traviata: https://www.atlantaopera.org/performance/la-traviata/ Student rush tickets are 25-35$ each). ALSO, 30 March Die Walkure will be at AMC over past I-75.
