1
Transcendentalism & “Walden” by Thoreau
2
Grab a copy of the transcendentalism notes handout & a copy of Thoreau’s “Walden.” Read the first paragraph of Thoreau’s “Walden,” & annotate one line from “Walden” by underlining it & numbering it the number of the transcendental element (AKA: If the third sentence seems like transcendental element #4 then underline it & mark a “4” beside it). ( Do your best; if you struggle, remember that we will discuss this) Bell Work – 4 mins.
3
Students will read “Walden” & annotate & discuss Thoreau’s inclusion of transcendental style. Standard: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Target:
4
We will share your bell work finds. We will read on & annotate as we read as a class. We will share annotations & repeat. You will then read on your own a portion of the text, & we’ll come together to share your findings by the end. Agenda:
5
What elements were found? What priorities in life do you think are important to Thoreau? Bell Work – Let’s Hear It
6
We’ll read to ________ (popcorn style). As we read, actively annotate. I challenge you to find one annotation each paragraph. We’ll stop periodically to explain the narrative & share findings, so be on your toes & keep up. Let’s Read On!
7
You will read to ________. As you read, create 5 additional annotations. Your Turn – 8 mins.
8
What was this portion of the text about? Do your beliefs about Thoreau’s priorities hold up? Do you think he has additional values to what you already mentioned? Let’s Discuss
9
Turn to a partner next to you. Share annotations ( I want to see you actively underlining & marking lines your partners have that you don’t). After you share with one partner, I want to see you alternate to someone else & share findings. Group Up: Share Findings
10
Read to ________ in “Walden” & continue annotating. Find as many elements as you can. Have these out during bell work tomorrow. I will come around and check to see if you have at least 5 annotations from this portion of the text. Having 5 will result in a 10-point homework grade. Having less will result in less points.
