Each trimester, students have the ability to earn a four percent boost on their final grade in History and English. For every book and recommendation form a student completes, one percentage point will be added to their final grade. For the final trimester, I am encouraging students to read biographies. A biography isan account of someone's life written by someone else. Because we are creating the Madison Memory Archive in our Journalism elective, I want to encourage students to read biographies. Reading biographies will help students write their narrative profiles.
Students may also fill our three book review forms of non-biographical books. As it is our last trimester, they may on any subject. :-)
**Students may not turn in more than two extra credit recommendation forms in one week.**
Copies of the book review forms are available in class as well as below. Students only need to fill out one form per book. To avoid additional work, please be sure that you use the appropriate form (fiction vs. non-fiction) for your book.
