Read the excerpts from Emerson in your book: "Nature" and "Self-Reliance" (268-271)
Additionally,
Research Emerson quotations online and select 5 that you really enjoy. Copy and paste the quotations into a document and format it so that you have a pretty readable font-size (around 20). Cut out each quotation individually, and bring them with you to class.
We will be doing a class activity with these quotations, so make sure to get this done so you don't feel left out.
