Listen to a podcast (or 3) for EXTRA CREDIT!

You have the opportunity to listen to a Podcast for extra credit points (quiz or homework points). You can do up to 3 of them for this unit, and they can be found at the below links. If you need a place to listen to them, you can do so in my classroom before or after school.

Each podcast is a little longer than I originally thought (the rest of the year they'll be ~25 minutes instead of 45 minutes). To get extra credit you must:

1. Listen to podcast
2. Write a 3-4 paragraph summary of the information provided in the podcast. This can be a general overview of what was talked about, or a brief overview and summary of a story or historical moment that was discussed.
3. Once you have listened and summarized, you should come in before school, at lunch, or after school and discuss what you learned with me for about 5 minutes.
4. Depending on your effort and completion of the above tasks, you can earn back 10 quiz points or 10 homework points.
