Extra Credit Opportunity:  Local Historical Selfie Tour

The intent of this Extra Credit opportunity is to get you acquainted with some of the local historical and cultural sites of the Southside of Hampton Roads area.

This Extra Credit opportunity is wholly and completely optional.  No penalties will be received for not submitting it.  However, this Extra Credit opportunity is worth a total of 100 points towards your final course grade and should be submitted only once, regardless of how complete it is.  It must be submitted as a complete, printed document, in class (if a face-to face course) or via Canvas if a distance course via ZOOM. 

Simply copy the below to a Word Document format, visit the below sites and take a selfie of yourself in front of the site, then paste a copy of your selfie on the applicable space next to its topic on the following pages.  Each of these individual sites is worth 10 points towards your final course grade for a total of a maximum of 100 points (10 points fore each of the listed 10 sites).  Visit as many or as few sites as you wish, but you will only receive points for the amount of sites you visit and post the applicable selfie to.

Submission:  This assignment must be submitted as a Word or PDF document either in class if a face-to-face course or using the submission feature in the assignment’s Canvas page if a distance course using ZOOM, and can be submitted anytime prior to the end of the course.  It can, however, be only submitted once, regardless of how many sites visited, so please plan accordingly.  It will “not” be accepted after the last day of class. 

Here is an example of what is required:

Directions for posting pictures:  Cut and paste the picture into the empty box to the left of the topic’s text.  Resize the picture by clicking on the picture, placing the cursor on the small square that will appear in the upper left corner of the picture, then dragging the cursor diagonally down until the picture is the proper size to fit in the box.  Select “Layout Options.”  On Layout Options tab, select “Square” under the “With Text Wrapping” heading.
