Classrooms on Wheels: Walden Pond with Dr. Keane's English class

As part of their unit on transcendentalism, students from Dr. Keane's grade 11 English class visited Walden Pond and Concord on October 23.


Students read excerpts from Henry David Thoreau's Walden before walking the circumference of the pond and visiting the original site of Thoreau's house.


Students also toured the Old Manse and the Concord Battlefield.
