 * HIST** **192: EXTRA CREDIT** **OPPORTUNITY**

Date Due: January 20,2009

Assignment: During our study of Colonial America and the American Revolution we have talked about many places in our area that deal with this time period. For this assignment, you can earn a maximum of (15) fifteen points by visiting a particular site in the Philadelphia area that directly deals with something of this era.

Examples are: Independence Hall, Valley Forge National Park, Washington Crossing State Park, Betsy Ross House, Constitution Center/Liberty Bell, City Tavern/Restaurant, Brandywine Battlefield, etc.

If any of these sites do not satisfy your interest (they are off the top of my head) you can google American Revolution Sites Philadelphia, etc., and possibly you can find another place that interests you.

You may complete (2) reactions maximum for a total of 30 points!

 * One thing that interested you
 * How what you saw connected to anything you have learned in class.
 * A short presentation about your visit to the class. You will basically tell the class what you saw and learned.
 * This written paper must be written in complete sentences with proper grammar and spelling to earn the total points. Doing an exemplary job will earn you the total points.
