 Today, I'll give you some class time to work on your essays. These need to be done by Wednesday. We will also read Thoreau in your textbooks.

Learning Goal: Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development; provide an objective summary of the text.

Today's Objective: Read "from Walden" (page 380) and determine a theme that Thoreau develops through the essay.
