For extra credit (TOTALLY OPTIONAL)

Option 1: Select any work from "Ethical Theory: A Reader" (http://www.upscsuccess.com/sites/default/files/documents/Ethical_Theory_An_Anthology_@nadal.pdf) (you may not choose any excerpt from a work we have already read in class--for instance, don't choose the excerpt from John Rawls' A Theory of Justice) read it thoroughly, and then in an essay of 500-750 words summarize it and connect it to at least one of our non-textbook readings this semester.  Create a new section in your e-portfolio and place this essay there.  No later than Friday, November 28, at 11:59 PM, email me the essay and copy and paste it on your e-portfolio.  If you do this in a satisfactory manner, you will earn a boost of 1/3 of one grade on your ENTIRE final portfolio.

Option 2: Go to a panel, forum, rally, speech, film screening, or similar event focused on a matter of equity and justice (might include matters related to housing, food justice, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, healthcare, race, freedom of religion, and so on).  This calendar might be helpful, but not all events will necessarily work, and you are definitely not limited to events on this calendar.  In an essay of 500-750 words, report on the event (describe it in detail!), examine the moral philosophy ideas raised in the event, and reflect on your own experience (what was it like for you?).  Create a new section in your e-portfolio and place this essay there.  No later than Friday, November 28, at 11:59 PM, email me the essay and copy and paste it on your e-portfolio.  If you do this in a satisfactory manner, you will earn a boost of 1/3 of one grade on your ENTIRE final portfolio.

You may even do both options, if you like!
