Good morning everyone,

Today we are going to be reading some excerpts from one of Thoreau's most famous works, Walden. The excerpts reflect the experiences Thoreau had at Walden Pond which is located near Concord, Massachusetts. Today you will be listening to an audio tape of the text and following along with the story on your computers. We will be stopping periodically where I will ask you to do two solid minutes of writing in your English journals. The goal is to write for the entire two minutes about your impressions of what you just heard, without stopping.

You will need open two tabs:

1. Walden excerpts

2. English Journals
