This classroom guide to Ralph Waldo Emerson is the third in a growing series of Craig's Notes Classroom Guides for teachers of literature. The Emerson guide is a bit different from the others, however. To begin, it is the first of three unique guides devoted to the American Transcendentalists. The Emerson guide is an outgrowth of a collaboration between Candace R. Craig and James D. Reid, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Reid's scholarly work includes publications on Kant in world-class journals, such as The Kantian Review. He is also co-editor and essay contributor for Thoreau's Importance for Philosophy (Fordham). The Emerson guide is thus a cohesive amalgamation of the expertise of a serious scholar and a veteran teacher of high-school English. The first section of the guide contains pre-reading classroom teaching materials, and includes two substantial introductions written by Dr. Reid. The subsequent three sections take a chronological approach, beginning with Nature, followed by the "Divinity School Address' and culminating with "Self-Reliance." Each of these sections contains a helpful introduction (written by Reid), followed by a combination of classroom activities, tests, quizzes, writing activities, etc., focusing on everything from vocabulary to basic comprehension to rhetorical and literary devices to essay assignments, and more. The final section of the guide contains a set of culminating activities that challenge students to practice their writing and critical thinking skills by synthesizing and drawing connections between each of the three Emerson texts and the spiritual or intellectual descendants of Emerson's legacy (i.e., Thoreau, Whitman, Frost, Stevens, Dillard, and recent sojourners seeking to experience deeper meaning and self-knowledge through their correspondence with nature). The guide concludes with lists of project ideas, research topics, and advanced essay prompts. Note: If you are a teacher and you would like to be able to photocopy the more than 100 pages of copy-ready classroom materials, please see the hard copy. The activities in the e version are the same, but are not easily printable for your students.
