A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf

Grade Level: High School

Text:  Excerpt from "A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf" by John Muir

Objective:  Students will look at John Muir's writing in the context of his life, comparing and contrasting his work with the writing of other transcendentalists.



Today we: 
-Learned about John Muir's life, analyzing several primary texts from around the time period he wrote "One Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf"
-Watched a collection of video clips from the PBS America's Best Idea series
-Discussed today's text outside (as Muir would have wanted) paying particular attention to the stylistic differences between Muir and other transdentalists
