Positive Thoughts from Petey the Positive Parrot:
Ashley is just delighted by how awesome all of your group seminar prep BIG questions were! They are more thought-provoking than any of the discussion question guides I've seen out there on the internet designed by retired English teachers with 12 cats.  Not that there is anything wrong with retired English teachers with 12 cats. Ashley might become one someday.  (A retired English teacher, that is, not a cat.  Just to clarify.)


Today's Goals:
Analyze Thoreau's views on civil disobedience and what he believes the role of an individual is in creating a just society

Starter:

Review "Civil Disobedience":
  • Find a line or passage  that you have trouble understanding (or think other students might, or think is particularly significant) and quote it.
  • Write down 2-3 clarifying questions that you have about the reading.

Agenda
1. Small group discussion
  • Share your quote selection and ask  your group to explain it to you.
  • Take turns posing your questions and discussing them

2. Whole class discussion:
  • What questions weren't you able to answer in your small group?
  • What does Thoreau want us to do as individuals?
  • What does he want from the government?

3.  SEMINAR GUIDELINES
  • Review Seminar Rubric,  seminar groupings and the seminar questions

  • Open up the email from me that explains my seminar feedback to you from last seminar.

  • Reply to my email with ONE specific goal for this week's seminar based off of my feedback.

  • Choose 2 questions from the  seminar questions list that you think you'll want to ask from that list of questions and write those on your seminar prep.

4. Work time
  • Individual Seminar Prep
  • Finish reading and annotating "Civil Disobedience"
