Extra credit opportunities:

Greetings,

I've gotten a couple of questions about extra credit, and I have two opportunities for you to consider:

1. Compose a briefly annotated bibliography of between 3 and 5 visual texts that you would recommend adding to the MAPC reading list. If your selection would be a good update or replacement for a current item, briefly note why. (This should be no longer than one page). Your selections do *not have to be traditional texts* but they can be.

2. Listen to this episode of This American Life which is all about maps, then write a blog entry of approximately one page reflecting on something from the show, and adding something of your own --some new musing or idea--to the conversation (the conversation taking place on the show) about maps and mapping. Make sure to look at the pictures.

Each of these opportunities are worth up to 5 percentage points (half a grade). Points will be awarded for engagement and thoughtfulness.
