Lesson plans: Why Does Thoreau Matter? (Course or Curricular Material)
Title: Lesson plans: Why Does Thoreau Matter?
Author: Living Deliberately Workshop Participants
Abstract: These lesson plans, created for a range of grade levels and disciplines, use as a base the observations Thoreau made, the questions he asked, and the questions that the teachers (and ultimately their students) will articulate based on their own observations. Participants will have a choice of seven major threads to follow which connect to what we believe are the most important aspects of Thoreau’s thought for young people, and to answer perhaps the most important question of all: Why does Thoreau matter?
Being Awake, Aware, and Alive
Hearing that Different Drummer
Examining Desperate and Deliberate Lives
Living in Society
Living in Nature
Practicing Simplicity
Choosing Life with Principle
