EXTRA CREDIT (30 POINTS MAXIMUM)-PLEASE CHOOSE ONE (1) OPTION ONLY
Option A:
For anyone who has ever read Dracula (and if you haven't SHAME ON YOU!), you know that a good portion of the novel is told via diary entries by the various characters. Now it is your turn to add your own diary entry to the tale. You find yourself a 'guest' in Dracula's castle. How did you get there? What are your impressions of your host? What do you think will happen to you? Have you figured out his secret yet? Let your imagination run wild; the diary, after all, is a good place for secret keeping, and I certainly won't tell anyone. 300 word minimum.
Option B:
In the lesson it was mentioned that Vlad III was a student at Scholomance. Do a bit of digging, if you will, and tell me a bit more about this fabled school where "Dracula" spent a good portion of his boyhood. 300 word minimum.
Option C:
llustrate 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.
