During each six weeks there are two ways for students to earn extra credit. The first is by writing an additional essay on an SOL writing prompt, which I'll provide near the end of the six weeks.

The second is by winning having your team win the Razmania challenge! The challenge consists of weekly contests between teams who demonstrate their mastery over core concepts like literary terms, writing, reading comprehension, and public speaking. The team with the best overall record will earn extra credit points for each of its members.

Below is the list of teams, captains, and tournament schedule:

Team 1 - Kendall (Captain), Josie Wiegandt, Kensley Bullins, Abby Pearl, Erin Bohannon

Team 2 - Ty (Captain), Stuart Reavis, Clark Moeller, Mason Lavinder, Bryton Dalglish
