Great job on your book reports!! I'll get them graded soon. Based on the actual artistic creation, there were quite a few "A's" (about half). A number of you still need to hand in the 1/2 page typed single-spaced summary as well as the 1/2 page response to the book.
Note: I'm guessing that when some of you saw the high quality of the better projects, your stomachs fell a bit when you saw what constitutes an "A." If any of you would like to redo or fix up your projects and written pieces, feel free. I won't mark you down this time (we do another book report this semester and two next semester).

1. Walden project exercise. Check this link: Types of posters that could be made
2. Crucible vocabulary 
3. Romanticism. Page 190 in Lit and Lang. book
Previous info:

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone"



You need to have finished reading the required parts of Walden.
pp. 1-52
