Use a separate sheet of paper. Make an extra credit box, and record
any extra credit you may have earned this week. If you are exempt, write

if the statement is true; if the statement is false, write "False" and
then tell why it is false. As always there are mistakes to find and fix
for extra credit. You will not use all the words, yet you may
use some more than once.
