Bonus
Essay: Prepare your bonus essay at home and bring

brief essay or short story similar to the word searches in 1100
Words. Use as many of the vocabulary words we have studied
in weeks 1 - 8 as you are able. Remember, though, not to
sacrifice clarity or coherence in order to squeeze in an extra
word. Underline
each vocabulary word as it occurs in your
essay or story. When you have finished, count
all the vocab words you were able to use and write the total
count at the top of the page. You will receive
1
extra credit / bonus point for each word correctly used
in your writing.
