The Road not Taken (Poem)

Warm Up

● Do you move with the crowd or think differently?
● What are the things you want to do differently?

ReCITATION

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveller, 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 back,
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 travelled by,

And that has made all the difference.
– Robert Frost
