Extra Credit Opportunities



















I would like to offer a few small extra credit assignments for students as we approach the end of the semester.  First, if any student would like to visit the Genghis Khan exhibit currently being presented at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History and write-up a short review of it (500 words or more; typed and double-spaced; summarizing the exhibit, relating it’s content to the CollegeBoard Key Concepts for AP World History and critiquing its effectiveness/authenticity) I will gladly award up to 10 test points for quality reviews of the exhibit.  I would also like to offer the opportunity for students to write a similarly formatted review for the film Lincoln, released this past week and directed by Steven Spielberg.  Up to 5 test points will be awarded for quality film reviews.  Both of these assignments must be turned-in on or before Thursday, December 13th if students with to receive extra credit.

Model United Nations


















Model UN is an international diplomacy-based debate club. At Model UN, we adopt the positions of a country and argue, negotiate, and compromise with other countries at conferences in order to acheive our country's policy objectives. In the past, we have represented Singapore at Kennesaw State's conference, where we earned an Outstanding Delegation award, and Pakistan at Georgia Tech's conference. Model UN is a fascinating, enjoyable, and educational activity.  If you are interested in joining the club or would like further information about it, simply contact either Michael Hochman at michaelhochman@yahoo.com or Mrs. Kaminsky at kaminskyg@fultonschools.org.
