Optional Extra Credit Opportunities and/or Grading Elements for Unit 6

Here are some suggestions for additional course components and grading elements:

  • The Glossary of Terms in the back is good information for weekly quizzes, mid-term tests, and/or final exams.
  • Watch the video “Best 10 Foods That Help In Enhancing Your Brain Power” and create a menu for any combination of meals the day before and/or day of the test. If you are a “foodie,” come up with your own dishes. If not, do a search for ideas by using an Internet search engine to type in the main ingredients (two or more) and add which meal: breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner.
