Lesson One—One Pager DUE DATE: READ: The Authors Note
On the front only of one piece of copy paper:DISCUSS: (all discussion questions must be answered by another person in the classroom during your literature circles—you ask them
the question, and write down their answer. They must sign next to your answer in legible print so that I can grade them.—after which, you must say whether or not you agree/disagree and why)1. What are all of the things in your world that you think are “worth” running from? What makes you angry/what is useless? List at
least 3.2. If you could escape your world, what would your escape name be? Use the prompts below to create one Examples: Blue Glenn Omnipotent, Red Monterray Pain Stopper
Favorite Color Street you grew up on Superability
CONNECT: Read the information below independently. Consider: do you believe yourself to be a more “rational” and “scientific” – rules/regulations/proof person, or do you believe yourself to be a “spiritual” transcendentalist? Choose one or the other. Explain why in at least 3 sentences.
TRANSCENDENTALISM is a very formal word that describes a very simple idea. People, men and women equally, have knowledge about themselves and the world around them that "transcends" or goes beyond what they can see, hear, taste, touch or feel.
This knowledge comes through intuition and imagination not through logic or the senses. People can trust themselves to be their own authority on what is right. A TRANSCENDENTALIST is a person who accepts these ideas not as religious beliefs but as a way of understanding life relationships.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was a Harvard-educated essayist and lecturer and is recognized as our first truly "American" thinker. In his most famous essay, "THE AMERICAN SCHOLAR," he urged Americans to stop looking to Europe for inspiration and imitation and be themselves. He believed that people were naturally good and that everyone's potential was limitless. He inspired his colleagues to look into themselves, into nature, into art, and through work for answers to life's most perplexing questions. His intellectual contributions to the philosophy of transcendentalism inspired a uniquely American idealism and spirit of reform.
DESIGN: Using colored pencils/crayons or markers, design what you envision “The Wild” to be in your mind. You may make either make a picture, a border, or a background for this “wild” idea.

CONNECT: Leo Tolstoy, born September 9, 1908, was a Russian author that Chris McCandless read often both in college and on his journey. Your job will be to connect to what McCandless’s belief and inspiration for his own family happiness might have been. Select 2-3 quotes from the grab bag in the front of the room from Tolstoy’s “Family Happiness”, find one that you can personally relate to. Copy it onto your one pager followed by the citation (Family Happiness,Tolstoy 1859) – follow this with how you can see this in families today, or even in your own with 3 or more sentences. You can also learn more information about him below:
Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852–1856), and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi,[2] and Martin Luther King, Jr..[3] Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection.
