- About Glen Draeger
In addition to the unabridged text of Thoreau’s essay, this volume for students in grades 7-12 includes a “Pre-Flight,” a short introduction to read before the essay, a “Wrap-Up”, a more in depth explanation and discussion of the essay, to be read after.
Mr. Draeger also takes Thoreau to the Andromeda Galaxy in “Life in the Universe.” Owning a time machine and a space ship has its advantages.
Also included are open-ended, Socratic discussion questions to help students think more in depth about the essay. And it hasn’t stopped yet. There are memes. These are not your ordinary, social media memes. Many of them are created so that your students will be exposed to great art. Great literature. Great Art. What could be better? How about memes your students can create? Yes, that’s included too.
And still, there’s more! You’ll want to write home about this one, there’s also a photo of Thoreau! It’s okay, don’t worry about it, you can thank me later.
