Last Chance Extra Credit

As we draw to a close on this 7th grade year I must say that have really enjoyed discovering the history of Texas with all of my students. This graduating class of 2017 is truly unique and has been a wonderful experience to teach two years in a row. There are many bright students, but most of all everyone has a great attitude; something you don't always encounter in middle school. Keep up the good work, and keep on smiling.


San Antonio Collage (www.nacada.ksu.edu/)

For the final extra credit project I'd like for you to create a collage of your favorite historical events or places in Texas. You may use a poster-sized backing and use pictures from my Texas magazines in class, the Internet, or create a drawing/painting of your own. You can even look in to ordering tourism magazines from specific places (come see me for help).

The collage should show a timeline of events and be of high quality. This will be something I want to hold on to for a while, and something that you can come back to my room and see years later. If you'd like it back at the end of the year, I'll understand. All extra credit is due by May 25th.

Thanks for a great year, and who knows. You never know, maybe you'll have me for another class some time down the road. If not, feel free to come by and say hi anytime.

Mr. H
