Note:  Extra Credit is a privilege and not a requirement.  If for ANY REASON you use extra credit for the sole purpose of NOT completing ANY assignments, I will take the extra credit option away for the entire school year.  The intent in this English class is for you to enjoy the English Literature opportunities that are available for entertainment purposes across the greater Houston area.
