For those of you who have the assignment, you are reading the first chapter of Walden, called "Economy." This outlines Thoreau's argument against a capitalistic society. Your job is to read and annotate it, and then present your findings to the class on Monday/Tuesday. You must have at LEAST through page 21 and annotated it; the next section outlines how much he spent and what he spent it on. You can skim that section for the main details. Make sure you are taking notes on the main ideas and the details you find important to his overall purpose.
You will have time in class to meet with each other to prepare your presentation, but should read with that in mind.
