  8. Procedure Cont’d. • We’re going to write down some of the quotes from the essay and pick out our top 5. • In groups of 3-4 (or less), look at these 5 quotes and figure out what they mean and why these quotes are important (to understanding Transcendentalism). • Turn these in by the end of the hour

  9. Self-Reliance • Read “Self-Reliance” on page 163. • What are the themes of “Self-Reliance” and “Nature?” How is it developed by Emerson? Write a couple of paragraphs that discuss what the themes are, how they are developed (pointing to specific lines in the text. I want to see QUOTATIONS!), and how that fits in with the Transcendentalist Movement. • Include: an introductory paragraph • At least two body paragraphs • A concluding paragraph

  10. Nature/Self-Reliance Writing • How could we construct a well-thought out response to the prompt? In other words, how could we set up our writing so that it makes sense? • Let’s Brainstorm!
