THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
By: Robert Frost
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;
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,
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.
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.
(students are reading silently)
Questions:
1. So what is the poem all about?
“Ok tell us.”
“Very good,the poem was written by Robert
Frost, a very good writer and ones claimed by
Paul Muldoon as “the greatest American poet
of the 20th century”
2. What do you think is the theme of the
poem?
- theme is one of the elements of poetry,
it is the controlling idea of a poem is the
idea continuously developed throughout
the poem by sets of key words that
identify the poet's subject and his
attitude or feeling about it.
3. Which road did he took? Why did he
took that?
4. Why is that, the title is The road not
taken not The road taken?
5. If you are going to choose with the two
roads what would you choose?
POETRY
-is an imaginative awareness of experience
expressed through meaning, sound, and
rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an
emotional response.
It comprises of several elements:
1.Theme -- it is the controlling idea of a poem is
the idea continuously developed throughout the
poem by sets of key words that identify the
poet's subject and his attitude or feeling about it.
“It is all about how we choose our own way into
our journey”
“Sir, I have an idea”
“The poem states that, you will always have
choices in life that are tough, but you can only
do one at a time. Frost says that he doubts he
will ever get a chance to take the other road, and
just like in real life, when you make a decision,
you cant always go back and change it. You will
also live wondering what the other choice may
have brought you.”
„I‟m sorry but what is theme sir?”
“The main theme of the poem that Frost
attempts to convey is how important the
decisions that one makes can be, and how they
affect one's future.
“The less traveled road sir”
“maybe sir because, he just want to make a
difference.”
“because the writer/speaker have regret of the
path that he took, he/she think that he made a
wrong decision”
“Any of the two sir, because in our life we make
decisions that may be good or bad, but whatever
it is we have to accept the consequences.”
- Frost helps to express this theme by
using symbolism to portray a road as
one's journey of life.
2. Stanza -is a group within a poem which may
have two or many lines. They are like
paragraphs.
- the poem is comprise of four stanzas,
each consisting of five lines.
3. Sound - That doesn't just mean
rhyme.

Rhyme - means sounds agree. "Rhyme"
usually means end rhymes (words at the
end of a line). They give balance and
please the ear. Sometimes rhymes are
exact. Other times they are just similar.
“can you give an example of rhyming
words in the poem?”
”very good”
4.Rhythm

Meter (or metrics) - When you speak,
you don't say everything in a steady tone
like a hum--you'd sound funny. Instead,
you stress parts of words.
5.Figures of speech are also called
figurative language. The most well-known
figures of speech are are simile, metaphor,
and personification.
APPLICATION
The class will be divided in three groups.
Each group are assigned to rephrase the poem.
ABSTRACTION
E. Generalization
In the poem "The Road Not Taken", author

job of transforming a seemingly common road
Sir, for example in the first stanza, the rhyming
words are, wood, stood, could and undergrowth,
both.”
to one of great importance, which along the way
