Daily Log

Monday, February 8

We read the most famous section of Walden, in which Thoreau explains why he went to the woods.

Students received two brief handouts (see Documents), and we went over the assignment they are linked to; that assignment follows.

HW due Wednesday:
Read the two handouts (see Documents), on the Nukak-Maku and animal mothers, and write (type) two brilliant paragraphs rebutting the tree-hugging, hippie commie Transcendentalist propaganda of Ralph Waldo, WALL-E, and Henry David about getting back to (ugh) Nature. You may refer to the handouts or simply use them to get you thinking.
