*Students are responsible for pulling the page and completing their extra credit assignments independently. Mrs. Emmer has intentionally made this information accessible in order to teach personal responsibility and self-reliance.
The extra credit is the same all year. Students may pull an extra credit page from the While-You-Were-Out file drawer (yellow folder in the back) and complete one biography of a Great Woman per unit.
Students must write a short biography of their choice on the front and include a picture of their Great Woman. Biographies must be written in the student's own words, copying the information directly from a website is not acceptable. On the back they should describe the time, culture, and setting of their choice as well as give additional details of her accomplishment.
Students need to use three sources for their extra credit work. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and writing "Google" is also not accepted. Write the specific website, book, or article in which the information was found.
