Today, we began class with New Fiction Friday presentations. Then, we read excerpts from Emerson's "Self-Reliance" and Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience." Students engaged in a partner pairing activity which involved matching definitions to literary/poetic devices, and students worked with their partners, crafting CEI paragraphs, supporting claims, based on their readings of the essay excerpts. Please see Mrs. Crandall for further details.
