03.31 - How Chris McCandless Died

In today's class, we started taking a look at some follow up writing that Jon Krakauer did on Chris McCandless after publishing Into the Wild. We began with this reading by taking a look at some pre-reading questions which people had a chance to respond to and then we used perspectives generated from this activity to discuss McCandless' death and what this says ultimately says about the success of his life.

Working with a partner, people then had time to begin reading this article and taking note of the arguments it presents using the reading questions provided with the processing sheet (see below).
We will continue to work with this tomorrow.
