Extra Credit # 2

Hey everyone,

I hope you've been enjoying your weekend thus far! Here is, as promised, the description for the second opportunity you can have for extra credit in this class:

You must compose a sonnet (a poem consisted of only 12 lines) with the theme of "Identity" in mind, type it, submit it, and recite it in front of the class. There may be other attendees in that particular class. The day you will recite & submit it to me will be no later than the following dates for each class section:

English 102.0882: June 6th
English 102.0823: June 11th
English 102.0838: June 11th

Keep in mind that you must also recite the poem in front of the class, not just submit it on paper to me to be able to get extra credit.

Once you have successfully completed this "extra credit" assignment, you will receive 5 bonus points on your Final Exam that you will have written in class the week before reciting your poem. Remember, you will be graded based on a rubric (like your midterm) in which points are added to make up 100% so if let's say your final exam comes out to a 74% based on the points you received for each category, you will automatically get a 79% which will bring your grade up from a C to a C+.

I hope to hear from all of you!
