A Few Wild Men

America history and culture celebrates independent men who battle the wilderness.

Daniel Boone comes to mind, as well as renowned author Jack London, author of Call of the Wild and other American classics.

Your in-class assignment is:

1. Read a short biography about London 

2. Read it again and take notes.

3. Take a quiz at the end of class. 

You may work in groups of two or three to gather notes.

All three must write their own, by hand.

Notes may be taken in a double entry style, or as an informal outline.
