Daily Log

Tuesday, January 4

We put aside Walden for the time being and read from Thoreau's other masterpiece, "Resistance to Civil Government" (aka "Civil Disobedience") as background to the film on Gandhi which the class will watch tomorrow in Mr. P's absence. We also read the biography of Thoreau on pp. 230 & 231 in the textbook.

HW due Friday:
Outside Reading essay. 600 words minimum.

Mr. P returned the vocabulary assignment with words from Walden, and we spent the bulk of the period reviewing those words. Later in the class we also began reading from Walden.
