Objective:  I can explain Civil Disobedience and identify three types of appeals in art and reading. 
Agenda:  

• Entry Task:  On a scrap piece of paper, answer:  Who is Emerson? What is Transcendentalism?  Use your journal/put in box!
• Remember Adler and his 6 Great Ideas?  We are going to address Justice through learning about Civil Disobedience.  Define justice in your own words.
• Follow along to Civil Disobedience prezi slides 1-19.  Your notes on Thoreau should answer the following:
  • Remember Henry David Thoreau from Transcendental notes?
  • What is Civil Disobedience?
  • Who was influenced by Thoreau?
  • How has Civil Disobedience impacted the world?
• Exit Task:  Quick Write-Sometimes a government enforces a law that is intended to protect or benefit people but actually infringes on their rights, such as the right to free speech.  Reflect for a few minutes on the policies or laws already existing or proposed in your school or community (curfews, dress codes, smoking regulations).  Freewrite for a few minutes on what you think are the strongest arguments for and against one of these policies or laws.  How does this impact your sense of justice?
