Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
The Story of My Boyhood and Youth is John Muir's memoir of growing up in Dunbar, Scotland, and on a Wisconsin farm from 1849. There are 9 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Students quote Muir rising at one o'clock to read and invent, surviving choke-damp in the well, leaving for the State Fair and learning botany from Griswold. Other sheets pair the memoir with an article on the Wisconsin frontier, a film script and a research plan on water and wind power.
