Extra Credit: Basic Beginning Summary
This is a book written by author Andrew Clements. It focuses upon a sixth-grade student named Abby Carson, who really doesn't like doing schoolwork. And in February of her sixth-grade year, an academic warning letter is sent home to let her know that if her grades don't improve, she's going to have to repeat the sixth grade and she doesn't want that to happen. So she talks to her teacher about this, and the teacher recommends her that she do an extra credit project that involves having to find a pen pal from a foreign country and writing letters to them back and forth. Then she has to create a bulletin board display in the classroom. And finally, when she has received at least four letters, she has to give an oral report to the class about what she has learned from this pen pal experience.
From what I have read so far, she has already realized her mistakes in school about schoolwork and so she has to do this assignment in order to avoid repeating sixth grade. So now, from where I've left off, she has already written one letter to a school in Afghanistan near Kabul, but till the end of the chapter where I left off, her new pen pal's name remains not revealed.
