EXTRA CREDIT

I loved getting extra credit points when I was in school, who doesn't? As a teacher, my students will always have an opportunity to pull up their grades by doing extra credit. I will think of fun, creative ways to get my students up and thinking so the can earn their extra credit. For example, one of the extra credit points can be received by doing something like this. I will post three, Daily Oral Language, DOL, sentence on the board each morning. This sentence will contain grammatical errors,capitalization,and punctuation errors. Whom ever raises their hand first will get a chance to go to the board and make all corrections on the board. If they get it right they get extra credit, simple as that. I enjoyed doing this in my English class with Mrs. Hill. This way teachers aren't just handing out extra credit but the students are working for it.
