Emerson's "Self-Reliance"

Today we will work with Emerson's "Self-Reliance" essay.  Read through these instructions - we will be looking to make connections between Emerson's essay and photos we find.

Start by going to this document and selecting one of the quotations from the essay.  Once you have selected the one you want to work with today, come and tell Mr. Rigler or Mr. Kramer.  Each one will be used only once on a first-come, first served basis (per computer lab).

Next, spend some time brainstorming ideas that will become the basis of your search for a photograph / image that expresses something about what the quote means.  You should have several words / phrases as a starting point.

Then, you will work to find a collection of photographs that somehow express the ideas in the quotation.  You can look anywhere on the web, but these are good places to start:

Create a post using at least three images and your chosen quotation.  You do not need to type anything else.

Go to the class blog.  Look at the three names above yours (starting from the bottom of the list if necessary).  Go to that person's blog and look at their Emerson quote / picture post.  Add a comment to it, saying something about how the image affects your thinking about the quotation.  What do you now understand about it?
