Term 4 Extra Credit

LAST DAY EXTRA CREDIT AND OR LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED IS WED., MAY 29th

Uncle Tom’s Cabin
8th Grade Honors Extra Credit Reading
*Congratulations on tackling extra reading!  You will never regret trying to read important literature!


Taking on Uncle Tom's Cabin is a great commitment, but if you feel interested, motivated, or are a voracious reader, you might want to consider 4th term's extra credit option (to supplement Uncle Tom's Cabin).  Read and annotate to enhance your knowledge of this time period and of individual perspectives. You will have until the end of May to complete this.

To receive your points you may annotate the text and show me your well done annotations, or you may write a 1-2 page double-spaced response paper on the part that had the most impact for you.  Be sure it is well-written and has your original thoughts along with evidence.
