Transcendental Connection

Yesterday, Schmitt's Scholars analyzed how different Transcendentalists (Emerson, Thoreau, McCandless) viewed life--and how those ideas were exemplified in their writing.  Students connected the writers' ideas to address these Learning Targets:

1. Understand Transcendentalists’ main ideas.
2. Analyze how structure has an impact.

We are doing well with the Transcendentalists' main ideas, but taking these ideas to the next level--analyzing Style and Structure--has been a challenging task.  Keep pushing, Schmitt's Scholars!

Check out your students--hard at work:
