There are Word Search Puzzles available for all classes
under "rompecabezas". If we've already gotten to the vocabulary, try 'em!
Some are easier than others - a few don't even have a word list! You can
print these puzzles out and do them for fun (yes, people, for fun. You read
that right. FUN.) Make sure that if you do one, you do one that is FOR YOUR
CLASS and only for stories/work we have already done. There is some extra
credit given for these, but it's added to homework, and can never replace the
course work.
Regarding Extra Credit: "Can I do something for extra credit?" Generally, if
you need more credit, it's because you don't know the required work. Spending
more time on that, rather than substituting (read: frittering your time away)
on something that is not as important is the thing to do. "Can I do something
for extra credit?" translates as "I don't want to do all the work I'll need
to
do to get this, or I never will get it, so can I do something easier?" Let's
face it - it isn't extra credit, it's replacement credit, and it's usually a
bad exchange.
