Into the Wild study guide

Remember that the reading is due on Thursday, January 7. You'll have a Socratic seminar on that day. Friday, January 8 is your final vocab quiz of the semester. On Monday, January 11 you'll have an in class essay. The prompt, as I told you is "why did Christopher McCandless walk into the wild?" On Tuesday, January 12 you'll have a test on the reading.

  1. I think it is great you are reading this in class. I would love to hear some of the student reactions to the Everett Ruess story. If they ever want to post something on my Facebook group about Everett Ruess, I more than welcome it.
