Several posts back I mentioned how Anna is a great paraphraser (can that be a noun?). She is good at understanding the general concept of something and then putting it into her own words.
Her weekly spelling test has an extra credit section for her to write a verse that is given to her that goes along with her spelling list and then if she writes it correctly on her test from memory she gets extra credit. We need help in deciding if her paraphrase should count for extra points or not. Technically she would get 1 point for the scripture and 1 point for the reference but it's your opinion so you can give her as many points as you want to.
Here's the bible version:"Now I pray to God that you do no evil; ...but that you should do that which is honest." 2 Corinthians 13:7 (Actually, her curriculum uses "ye" and "thee" and "thou" but we definitely take those out! They really need to update some of this stuff.)
Here's Anna's paraphrase:
"He will pray to God for no evil, but that you should be true to God." 2 Coileile 13:7
What do you think??? She's eagerly awaiting your comments. :)

French for corinthians. I say give it to her!
Isn't Coileile in the Old Testament? If so she should not get the point for the correct reference.
I don't know, I'll ask her where she thinks it is and then decide. But I have to say you are pretty hard core "principal dad".
French, that's funny!
Man, that is spot on! What's to debate? Of course she should get extra points. She should get 5 extra points for being concise. Go Anna!!
Mimi called and said she's with Jenny. Anna should get 5 points.
Things are going your way, Anna.
Please give me 5 points.
Anna the great!
