Publisher's Synopsis
A Classroom Guide to Henry David Thoreau is the fourth in an ongoing series of Craig's Notes Classroom Guides. It includes all of the features that make each of Craig's guides thorough, practical and insightful, with chapter commentary, ready-to-copy exploratory questions, tests, vocabulary, literary activities, projects, writing ideas, and more. Like its counterpart, A Classroom Guide to Ralph Waldo Emerson, it is well suited for college and high-school classrooms alike and incorporates social, political, philosophical, and environmental themes in ways that assist instructors across disciplines. Users of this guide will better help their students see the connections between Thoreau's concerns and the activism of modern figures, such as Martin Luther King Jr., John Muir, and environmentalists like Edward Abbey and Bill McKibben.
