HOMEWORK:
1. Memorize vocabulary 1-15 from Walden Vocabulary--quiz Thursday
Walden Vocabulary
2. Read pages 1-3 of Walden. Find two significant quotes.
Ongoing assignment: Read pages 1-64 of Walden and compile a list of 25 significant quotes.
Journal: Write a 1/2 page response to one of the quotes, a 1/2 page response to a second quote, and a full page response to a third. What does the quote mean and why do you like it? You might also discuss how it relates to other parts of the book.
NOTE: This is not a novel and doesn't have much plot. Therefore, you're reading for the good ideas found here. There are many parts of the book that you won't quite follow, but that's ok. Just keep reading until something does grab your attention. Just be sure that you end up with 25 quotes by the end!
