Extra Credit 

2022-2023

     It is crucial that students complete all of their work when it is assigned, meet all the expectations set forth for each assignment, and put forth 100% effort on ALL assignments.  Extra assignments and other extra work will not be provided to raise a grade. However, ALL students will receive optional extra credit opportunities monthly.  Students will receive an e-mail with the details for extra credit opportunities 1-2 times a month.  After successful completion of the extra credit, students will receive a coupon with  the number of points earned that can then apply to any assignment or assessment PRIOR to the grading  of the selected assignment.

Directions/Assignment: In this poem, the author compares the snow to a bird.  What else can snow be compared to?  Write your own poem explaining your comparison. Your poem MUST be at least “6” lines.
