Thoreau on the Go: A Curriculum Project for Middle School Students

These index cards contain quotations by Henry David Thoreau and quotations by his contemporaries, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, regarding him.  I arranged the framework for the quotations, defined words that are challenging or that help illuminate the significance of the quotation.  I also posed questions that can be considered on a hike around Walden Pond, around any place in nature on a field trip, or in the classroom.  These cards are laminated to be durable, and are meant to be classroom and field trip-ready.
