Henry David Thoreau

Learning Goal: Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development; provide an objective summary of the text.

Today's Objective: Read "from Walden" and determine two themes that Thoreau develops and then write these themes and how Thoreau develops them with a summary of the text.

HW: questions 1-4, 6 and 7 on page 388.

We will be reading Thoreau for the next few days.  He is the most important essayists of the 19th century - so important that the two essays you're read hit Common Core Standards RI2, RI4, RI5, RI6, and RI9.

Smile.
