Weekend HW - Finish Annotating Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" and Emerson's "Self-Reliance"

Unfortunately many failed to finish Emerson's short essay before Friday's (1-14-11) classes. This hurt them when trying to correlate two Calvin & Hobbs cartoons and later their group work with the Hip-Hop cut, "Nature: Determine It", by Melissa Carry, The Peoples' Proverb and Kyle Carson.



Hint for success:
If there is ever a reading, equation, scientific theory, map, graph or assignment that confuses you:

1. review the in-class notes/book, outlines, graphic organizer

2. Talk to older peers, parents, guardians who may have prior experience with materials

3. e-mail any teacher who has read, studied or may have prior experience with materials

4. e-mail, stop by during L&L or SOS with any teacher or any other teacher that may be familiar with material.

5. e-mail, stop by your Kathe, Pam, Eric, Ross Ms. Tartaglione's or anyone's room during L&L or SOS or AFTER SOS.

6. ask a coach, a religious leader, a friend's parent or guardians, grandparents, or other adult that may be of help.

7. GOOGLE "Understanding Emerson's 'Self-Reliance'" or ""Reading Topographical Map Keys" or "What is the Pythagorean Theorem?" or "Biochemistry"

This is what I came up with in 15 seconds of Safe-searching : "Understanding Emerson's 'Self-Reliance'"

Start with #1 through #7 or until greater understanding has been accomplished.

Though "ignorance is bliss," you should not strive to live in ignorance.
