OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXTRA CREDIT
Due on or before
Thursday, May 6, 2010,
@ 6:00 PM EDT
To be eligible to "earn" extra credit, students must timely submit their Essay #1, Essay #2, Essay #3, and Research Paper. Students who have not submitted the assignments required for the class are not eligible for extra credit. In other words, students cannot use the extra credit assignments to "replace" work that was not turned in.
Each extra credit assignment is eligible to "earn" up to 25 points. Students may turn in up to three (3) extra credit assignments, for a total of 75 points.
Students may attend an event related to the arts (theater, ballet, gallery opening, lecture, foreign film, etc.) and thereafter submit a 400-500 word brief summary and a first response. The summary/first response should be submitted via e-mail (to english102wcc@gmail.com) on or before Thursday, May 6, 2010 at 6:00 PM. Students are also required to submit their ticket stub from the event. Extra credit papers submitted without a ticket stub will not be accepted.
Westchester Community College has many events scheduled this semester that "qualify" as an extra credit event. Several are listed below. Students may also attend an event of their choosing that is not on the list; however, any event not on the list below must have the prior approval of Professor Roberts.
LES BALLETS JAZZ de MONTREAL
4/24/2010 @ 8:00 PM
Event Description
Canada’s internationally acclaimed touring ensemble is known for its creative combination of ballet, jazz and modern genres, not to mention its indefatigable energy. Eleven powerhouse performers showcase a cascade of eclectically inspired music selections and dance styles from Vivaldi arias and klezmer to Brazil’s capoiera.
Wild but wonderful, this carnival of movement—“insect-like creeping, shoulderdislocating partnering, hitch kicks, ronds de jambe, wheeling turns, and leaping quick steps all bring down the house with sheer exuberance and precise execution, par excellence.” (San Diego Arts)
