Monday - 6 days left & Tuesday - 6 days left
Homework: make sure you've read and annotated Into the Wild for: transcendentalism, pursuit of happiness, and characterization - open-book, timed test next time
Wednesday - 5 days left and Thursday - 5 days left
You'll have 45 minutes to plan, pre-write, and write an argument essay that responds to the following prompt: Does Chris McCandless/Alexander Supertramp become a true transcendentalist before his death? Remember: an argument essay must show both sides of an issue and be backed up with evidence. In this case, integrate textual evidence that you've annotated for transcendentalism, pursuit of happiness and/or characterization.
This essay will be scored against a generic argument rubric, which I've attached to the bottom of this lesson plan page.
