The River Why

If you're reading The River Why (those of you at MHS and LHS will find out about this at the next class), you might want to download a folder of the same name from Shared Files. The most important file is entitled "1 Reading File: The River Why Corollaries," which may give you many ideas for paper topics; other files include relevant photos of trout, Oregon, a 1959 Plymouth, ad infinitum. Enjoy!

Thoreau's "Essay 1"

While you're writing Essay 1, you might derive inspiration from Thoreau's Walden. It's available free here: Google Books. If you can't read the whole chapter entitled "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For," at least start at "I went to the woods because . . ." on page 87 and read through to just before "Why should . . ." on page 89.
