Then, in your groups, come up with a working definition of “Transcendentalism.” McCandlessEmersonThoreau Rejects society and material comforts Wants to escape to the wild and no longer be “poisoned” by civilization Seeks a “spiritual revolution,” which shows he is concerned with matters of the spirit; his soul

GROUP RESEARCH ” To deepen your understanding of Transcendentalism, you will work with your group members to create a poster depicting Transcendentalism’s key beliefs. Consider the framing questions below, but you may revise, cut, or add to the list of questions based on your initial work with Emerson and Thoreau. 1.What is their view of God? 2.What are their values? 3.How do they define Truth? 4.Do they have an optimistic or pessimistic view of life? 5.What are their views of work and worldly success? 6.What is their view of society? 7.Who is their authority? 8.What is their view of education? 9.Do they view man as inherently good, evil, or somewhere in between?

GROUP RESEARCH ” Be sure to compile a list of your resources and sources, both for specific quotes and for general ideas. Use a graphic organizer like the one below to collect your information. Each member should use a different source, and all sources should be credible. Source Info/Citation InterpretationConnections Record pertinent information and include page numbers. Be sure to use quotation marks if using a direct quote. Question and comment on the facts presented. Imagine the people, the situation, and the events surrounding the research facts. Consider possible contemporary texts that express or link to the ideas presented in the source.

We will be doing a gallery walk of your posters in class on Friday!!!
