Tuesday, Nov. 19 Agenda

• Bell Ringer: In Writer’s Notebook: If society values conformity over individualism, why do nonconformists seem to have the greatest impact on society? Why can nonconformists change society so radically (think of Caesar, Jesus, Martin Luther, MLK Jr., etc)? Who are some nonconformists that are impacting our culture today? Be prepared to share your answer to at least one of the above questions in discussion.
• Finish reading Walden sections and then read your blogging book when done
• Discussion of WN entry (society values conformity…)
