Three Poems by Robert Frost

This week we are beginning a poetry unit. Monday we memorized Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice" and later in the week we will study his poems "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Road Not Taken." Choose one of these three poems and discuss its theme, or meaning. Write two paragraphs: one paragraph should discuss in detail your interpretation of the meaning and the other should include why you chose this poem and how the meaning is important or relevant to your life - compare its theme to something you have experienced or thought about.

Use a quote from the poem in your response. Both "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" and "The Road Not Taken" can be found on the Poetry Out Loud website, which is linked on this blog.

Be sure to write two complete, well-developed paragraphs and comment on a classmate's blog by Friday, November 7.
