English Extra Credit Opportunties

There are two ways to earn extra credit in your English class. The first one is to read the 2012-2013 Virginia Reader Choice books. For each book that you read you must answer one question in essay form.  The questions are available at the circulation desk. If I am convinced that you read the book then your English teacher gives you 25 extra credit points PER BOOK.  You can read as many of these books as you'd like.  (the 8th grade now as 15 books to choose from - 5 are from the VA Reader's Choice high school list)

Your second chance to earn extra credit is to attend the Pageturner's Book Club at the Vinton Library. The books change monthly and meetings are held the first Thursday of the month at the Vinton Library.  The meetings run from 4:00 to 5:15 and if you bring a note you can ride but 106 or 79 to the library. 

More information is available in the library or by talking to Mrs. Balsley. hbalsley@rcs.k12.va.us
