There's an extra credit assignment in English class worth 10 points. It's optional to do but I want to do it to earn some extra points.
I need a lot of help and need a head start.

This is what I need to find for the "Scavenger Hunt" extra credit project:

*Any kind of William Shakespeare reference
*1 grammatical error or typo
*Job application or posting that requires English skills
*Any reference to Frankenstein (the book)
*Printed out musical lyrics that contain a reference to an author or work

If you could give me some clues/hints/help on these I would appreciate it :)

There are a couple of grammatical errors and typos in these forums.
Take your pick. :D

If you do a job search on www.indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com), using the keywords 'executive secretary english', you'll find plenty of jobs requiring English skills. For example:
