Major Paper Preparations

Today we broke up into groups/stations and concentrated on one particular element in TPFLASSTT of the poem, "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Frost.


In our groups/stations, we concentrated on finding the following four things:

1. Quotes


• Let's your reader know that you know and can support what you claim with data/information from the poem/TEXT


2. Examples


• Let's your reader know that you know what you are talking about in regards to your knowledge of literature, what literary elements are present.


3. Explanation


• Make sure that you successfully tie together the quote and the example, so that they are no more twain, but one.


4. Value


• Explain how the poem is better as a result of the author's phrasing/diction. What ways would have been less poetic/profound/beautiful?

The last thing that we needed to do was to organize the information collected by our "expert" group into a few paragraphs or points that could be presented to the class tomorrow.
