AR extra credit

Here's an extra credit opportunity that will continue from now until March 21. Read any AR book from the 500-section (sciences) in the library, and then pass the AR test with at least an 80%. Your extra credit will be five times the number of AR points for the book. So, if the book is worth 4 AR points, you will earn 20 extra credit points (4 AR points times 5 = 20).

You can read any book from the 500-section in the library. But, you also read a biography on a scientist. Just make sure the biography is of a scientist. Example of scientists our library has biographies about include Ben Franklin, Marie Curie, Jane Goodall, Isaac Newton, Lise Meitner, and George Washington Carver.

In order to get the extra credit points, you must:
a) score at least 80% on the AR test.
b) tell me the name of the book, the author, your AR test score, and your Reading teacher (so I know which group to look at to verify your school and points). 

You can read as many books as you want between now and March 21. But, March 21 is the last day to give me the information for your extra credit.

This extra credit assignment gives you an opportunity to earn points in science while also completing the independent reading homework you have in reading class and earning AR points for reading.
