3rd Six Weeks Extra Credit - CP Classes

"Excalibur" is based loosely on Arthurian legend, but some say that the story is based on an actual person who lived during that time period. Based on the movie "Excalibur" and the information you have learned from this unit, do you believe it is simply a legend or based on fact? Explain and be sure to provide specific examples.

Last day to receive credit for this assignment is December 17th at midnight.

On the brink of suicide, Victor Frankenstein wanders into the valley of Chamounix in Chapter 9. The beauty of the scenery cheers him, and his melancholy passes. Explore the relationships between the charaters of the novel and nature. Are the characters' links to nature genuine, or are they ironic? Explain in a paragraph or two and be sure to provide specific examples.

NO MORE EXTRA CREDIT?

Well sadly no one chose to take this last extra credit opportunity! This will make me rethink doing extra credit all together! Extra credit is a privilege not a right, keep that in mind for the rest of the year.

Sincerely,

Extra Credit Blog (2nd Six Weeks)

Okay here is your next chance for extra credit.
Choose one of The Canterbury Tales we watched in class and explain the moral lesson to be learned from that tale. Then explain whether the character telling the tale is an example of irony and why if it is.

Last day to post will be on Sunday, November 1, 2009 at 12 midnight. All posts must be complete and insightful in order to receive credit. Any questions? Comments?

Good luck!
