Open another Firefox tab and go to the Transcendentalism webquest here. Complete the following:
1. Read the information in the links in Step 1. In your notes, answer the question: what is Transcendentalism? The link here is particularly helpful (knowing the philosophical term "a priori" as a high school student will get you major respect when you hang out with your friends already in college).
2. In Step 2, read about Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, and Dickinson. These are the people you will be reading and need to know (i.e., "What characteristics make Emerson "Emerson"? Be prepared to look at a representative text and tell me which of the four wrote the text).
3. Be prepared to briefly explain the impact Transcendentalism had on education reform, the women's rights movement, and the Abolitionist movement (Steps 4-6).
