Starter 7 (10 minutes)
  • What questions do you have about the play so far? Please come up with 2-3 questions.  One of these should reference a specific quote/passage and its corresponding page # in the play.  These questions can either be thought-provoking BIG seminar type questions or simply clarifications.
​
HOMEWORK
By Tuesday: Read (and I'd encourage some form of annotations) these excerpts from the essay, Civil Disobedience by Thoreau. 

AGENDA
2 minutes: Get a copy of Civil Disobedience by Thoreau from the sub (they are located on my desk) 
45 minutes work time: Either finish the play OR begin reading and annotating Civil Disobedience.

5 minutes: BREAK
Remainder of class:  Small group activity:
  1. At your table groups, share out your questions from the starter and help each other answer them.
For this next part, please select one member to take notes on a google doc and share it with Ashley and all group members: 
  1. ​Re-read pages 72-74 and discuss what your group thinks "Huckleberrying" represents. 
  2. Pick 2 of the following themes from the list below and for each of the 2 themes you chose, find 3 quotes that best illustrate Thoreau's perspective on the following themes/ideas.  Lastly, discuss to what extent you agree with Thoreau. What elements of his philosophy might you incorporate into your own? Which would you discard?
  • Traditional forms of religion v. Transcendentalism  (self-reliance, individualism v. conformity,  spirituality/nature)
  • Civil Disobedience/Justice
  • Education v. Schooling
  • The Government
