Extra credit! Extra credit! Read all about it!

There will be an extra credit opportunity for all my classes. This Tuesday is the inauguration of President Elect Barrack Obama. It is a pivotal moment in American History, and one that we should all be extremely proud of - regardless of who you voted for in this election. We are in the middle of history being made; history that will make its way into the history books that our children and grandchildren will read.

Anyway, the extra credit opportunity is this: view the inauguration and write an essay with your thought/comments. Remember that it's still an essay, so when you prewrite, figure out what exactly you want to say and develop your thesis accordingly. Some ideas include:

- impressions you have about this moment in history
- any personal implications this has for you
- comments on the process
- what this particular inauguration means for you

If you have any questions, email me (it's in your syllabus!).
