Starter: POP QUIZ!
This quiz is not graded. It is just a chance to see how you are doing with retaining information from our reading and discussion.  

Today's Objectives:
  • Demonstrate your understanding of Dr. King's distinction between just and unjust laws
  • Understand the basic elements of transcendentalism

CLASS BIZ
  • Turn in permission forms!
  • Self-assess on final Animas River project!

Agenda
1. Go over quiz answers

2.  Ashley's ppt on Transcendentalism + Definition of Juxtaposition



Juxtaposition is a literary technique in which two or more ideas, places, characters and their actions are placed side by side in a narrative or a poem for the purpose of developing comparisons and contrasts.

3.  OUTSIDE: Act out pp 3-14 of TNTSJ



4.  Silently read and annotate pages 14-40 (30 minutes)
  • Try to annotate quotes that capture Thoreau's philosophy on: religion, education, the role of the government, justice, individualism/conformity
  • Also, try to identity juxtaposition on page 23: Which characters are juxtaposed and what similarities or differences are the playwrights highlighting?

5. Discuss what you've read so far: Ah ha! Say what?  I wonder......

6. Time to read Homework due by Monday
Read the two primary source documents on the Mexican-American War and complete the Historical Thinking Skills chart by MONDAY at the beginning of class.  I'd recommend annotating these articles as well as you will use these in our final seminar on TNTSJ next week.  
  • Primary Source #1: John O'Sullivan on Manifest Destiny (don't worry yet about the questions at the end, we'll do that in class on Thursday)
  • Primary Source #2: North Star Editorial, "The War with Mexico"
  • Historical Thinking Skills Chart
