Extra Credit Opportunity

This is worth 20 extra credit points. This should be in Humanities 9 format. The entire assignment must be completed for any extra credit points to be awarded.

PLEASE NOTE: Extra credit points will not be awarded if the Projects for the Kite Runner have not been completed!

(For those of you with missing assignments from the first half of the semester, it would be a good idea for you to complete this.)

You must find 4 articles regarding the U.S. and Afghanistan. The article must contain news regarding these 2 countries. (Relationships, conflict, resolutions, etc)

The articles must be cited. At the conclusion of each summary, you must list the web site that you found the article on. I will check to ensure that the article in genuine. Failure to cite the link will cause you to receive 0 extra credit points.



Criteria for EACH article (I suggest you do the article summaries 1 by one)

1. Where did the events in the article take place? ( 3 sentences)
2. What was the article about? ( 5 sentences)
3. Who was in the article and why were they important? ( 4 sentences)
4. Why do you think the event took place in the article? ( 3 sentences)
5. Why did you choose this article? Does it relate to the other articles that you chose? ( 5 sentences)
