Poem Treasure

Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.

1. The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;	5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,	10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.	15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.	20

A day at school

Today we discussed different styles of writing and poetry, and as a class, we discussed why words are so valuable. We also discussed uses of literature. I know everyone has different gifts and preferences when it comes to subjects and classes, but after our discussion today, it is my hope that each student will find something that they enjoy about English as well as learn a new way to relate to language. Here is a summary of our discussion. Thank you for the contribution, classes!

Hello, students, parents, and friends!

Welcome to the blog about my class and literature studies. In this blog, I will post events and news from class, provide samples of some of the work we are doing, post some of my thoughts on literature and English, show pictures from teaching English around the world, display famous authors, and hopefully entertain and enlighten any readers in the world of literature.
