Since many of you have asked about extra credit options for The Hunger Games, I have compiled some choices. Please read the directions thoroughly and complete them neatly and appropriately. If you have any questions or would like to suggest an alternative activity, please let me know!
You may complete as many as you would like. Each extra credit assignment that earns an 85% or higher will grant you an extra 10% on any Hunger Games homework assignment.

Option #4 - What's In Your Backpack?
This one seems really fun! Imagine you have to survive in the wild. What items would you want for your survival? In this activity, you pick the environment and research it. You may decide to create a poster showing and explaining the items in your backpack or you can put actual items in a backpack. Ask if you have any questions! Have fun with this and remember you don't want your backpack to become too heavy.
