Do Now: Have you ever read comics?  Comic books? Graphic novels?  If so, which ones?  If not, what is your opinion of them?


Objectives:

  4. If needed, review your text annotations and/or thought charts
  5. Identify two comics that that have strong literary connections to the ideas of Emerson and Thoreau. (Bring them to me and I will xerox the strips)
