Henry+David+Thoreau

=We are reading the first section of Walden, called "Economy," in 5 assignments. Divide your copy's pages of this section into five equal assignments and read them accordingly.=

=We will then read each of the following chapters in one night each:=

="Where I Lived and What I Lived For"= ="Solitude"= ="Pond in Winter"= ="Spring"= ="Conclusion"=

=Additionally, every night, you must reflect on your reading in Thoreau and write in your journal as often as we meet in class (4x per week). In these writings, I expect you to quote from Thoreau at least three times and to let your thoughts flow from there and challenge yourself to ponder his ideas. Really think about them and evaluate your own values, wants, and needs.=

= = = = = = = = =Find your copy of Thoreau's //Walden//. We begin reading this October 18 and stay with it for 3 weeks.=
