OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENRICHMENT AND EXTRA CREDIT

In order to receive extra credit, students need to write a 2 paragraph response to the event/activity. In the first paragraph, they should describe the event, giving FACTUAL details about what happened, what they saw, etc. In the second paragraph, students need to respond by writing either an AFFECT   RESPONSE (how the experience made you feel and why), a PERCEPTION   RESPONSE (what were the things about the experience that really jumped out at you and why), and an ASSOCIATION   RESPONSE   (what the experience reminded you of and why). The paper can be neatly handwritten or typed. Extra credit points are added to the lowest assessment score during the nine weeks in which they were accumulated.
