AP Lang & Comp Bundle

The materials below are for Thoreau's "On Civil Disobedience." I am teaching AP Lang this year for the first time in 7 years, and I am planning on using these materials this spring. If I get a chance, I will come back to this post and add some commentary to the activities below, but I think they are pretty straightforward and easy to use. These materials will help your students to comprehend and analyze "On Civil Disobedience."

Thoreau's "On Civil Disobedience"

I would use these materials in my AP Lang & Comp class as a precursor to my Into the Wild unit or my Civil Rights unit.
