EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY –

My blog website, http://jstrebler.blogspot.com/ has a number of lengthy essays on controversial issues.  If you find one that interests you, write a critique of the essay.  To earn extra credit, you must respond to the specific points and evidence in the essay. You may, of course, also mention other points that are relevant, but DON'T just ramble on with your opinion on the topic without responding to what the essay says.  DON'T just say the essay was great, or it sucked, or whatever without giving specific reasons why you say that.  And DON'T use informal, texting-style writing without proper punctuation, capital letters where appropriate, etc.   If you do those things (ramble, don't respond to specific points in the essay, improper writing style), you will get zero extra credit. 

Submit a hard-copy of your critique to the instructor, AND post a short summary of your comments on the website.  You must do both to earn extra credit.  The amount of extra credit you earn depends on the difficulty of the essay you critique, and the quality and length of your critique.  Typical critiques earn 10-15 points extra credit, but some earn more and some less.  There is no limit on the number of essays you can critique for extra credit, so put on your thinking cap and boost your grade!
