EXTRA CREDIT (30 POINTS MAXIMUM)-PLEASE CHOOSE ONE (1) OPTION ONLY
Option A:
BARD WANTED! Must be willing to set to poem or verse an ode to one of the vampire-like creatures covered in our globe-trotting lesson. The poem/song can be of any style, but MUST be at least 10 lines long. It can tell of the bard's personal encounter with the creature, sing of its terrible beauty, or wax poetic about mystery surrounding it. The sky is the limit for the bard brave enough to take on such a daunting task!
Option B:
Throughout our travels, we were able to stop in several different countries and unearth their legends concerning the wonderful vampire, but Merlin knows that many more countries and legends await. We would have to be immortal ourselves to cover them all, and since we are decidedly not *shifty gaze*, there was only so much we could do. Please choose a country that we did not discuss in the lesson and tell me about a vampire legend from their culture. Minimum of 300 words, please.
Option C:
Illustrate anything that was discussed in the lesson, be it a person, a place, event, etc. This can be done via a
computer program (such as Photoshop, Paintshop, etc) or hand-drawn. As long as it is your own work, I am not particular. Just remember, to make sure and upload them to a file sharing site (such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc). NO ATTACHMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
