Wednesday--Henry David Thoreau

Today we are reading Henry David Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience." We began the class with a freewrite answering the questions below
1. What makes a law just or good?
2. How does one determine whether a law is good or bad?

We then read the essay on page 412 and looked at the biographical information on page 400.

I announced that I am writing a test for you. It will be over all of the Transcendentalism stuff, and I will give you a study guide. The test will be the Wednesday the 18th, and I will give you the study guide on the 11th.
