Extra Credit Opportunity

Do not forget that you can go onto Brainpop.com to watch the videos and e-mail them to me for extra credit. You can do this for both Mathematics and Science. First click on the link above. When you arrive at the site, click the login button found in the middle of the screen, at the very top. Your student should have received the new username at password that is for our school. After logging in, you can choose either Math or Science. Your student can watch any video about a subject that we have already discussed in class. After watching the video, there is an option for taking a quiz. Have them choose the Graded Quiz option. After taking the quiz, the students will need to enter in my e-mail address, jechols@mesquiteisd.org and the results will come straight to me. I award extra credit points to any quiz that receives 7 points or higher. If you have any questions please e-mail me so we can get your students off and running.

  2. Yes, quite often! I just keep a check list, and they get one point for each question that they get correct. At the end of the six week's I just average it in as extra credit points.
