Walden, Henry David Thoreau’s classic meditation on self-reliance and nature, continues to offer students a valuable perspective nearly two centuries after its first publication in 1854. Now students can also experience the world of Walden Pond through a role-playing game funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Walden, a game lets students explore the woods where this transcendentalist thinker made his temporary home, and a new suite of supporting classroom materials helps teachers bring the experience into their English language arts or social studies curriculum.
