We reviewed and discussed Matthew's draft essay contrasting London as a Naturalist author and Thoreau as a Transcendentalist advocate and writer. Overall, he wrote a very good draft. He composed a very good introduction and aptly integrated quotes from London's short story into his essay. We worked on eliminating sentence run-ons and extraneous sentences as well as adding critical portions of the London short story to the essay. Matthew needed some assistance working with Thoreau's "Walden". However , he very quickly was able to refocus his essay and per our discussions and my verb choice suggestions he completed his paragraph identifying Thoreau's view of Nature and located and included supporting examples in his essay. We then worked on how to incorporate content contrasting the two authors' perspectives. For homework, complete and continue to rewrite essay.
