As you should already know, students can earn bonus participation for helping clean the classroom or by bringing in supplies that are consumed in the classroom during daily business and small group work. 5 points can be earned for each item, and a maximum of 10 points can be earned. Items needed are:
time (to clean up classroom, file papers, etc) 15 minutes = 5 pts.
adhesive bandage strips (band-aids) 1 small box = 5 pts.
crayons, markers, colored pencils = 5 pts/box
Since we are reading F. Scott Fitzgerald, a local author, students may earn bonus by exploring areas of significance in St. Paul that relate to the author for bonus formative. To complete this task, have a photo of yourself taken in front of Fitzgerald's statue in Rice Park, in front of the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul, and in front of the house he lived in on Summit Avenue (between the 500 and 600 block - do a websearch to find the exact address). 5 pts.
One last formative opportunity for now: watch the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" or read the short story, and write a one page reflection connecting the story's themes to class. 5 pts.
