This is an excellent ten minute review of this book. It explains the symbols and the human element. There are some words that are used that some students may not understand as well as some of the motives.

This 3:44 video is an interview with a teacher about how Walden lived and what he wrote. Between 1845 and 1847, Henry David Thoreau decided to spend two years in a small cabin - located in the woods in Concord, Massachusetts, near Walden Pond - to se...e what it would be like to withdraw from the constant demands and "busyness" of daily life.
As he writes in Walden:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. (Thoreau, Walden, Volume 1, page 143.) The lecture is too sophisticated for younger students and does not provide a cause and effect of Thoreau's work.
In this clip, Professor Richard H. Baker - a Transcendentalist scholar - gives an overview of Thoreau and the lessons he tried to learn when living in his Walden-Pond cabin (which no longer exists, in its original form).
