Hey classmates -

My powerful poem is called "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.

Check out my bookmark and notes athttp://www.diigo.com/annotated/b4468d61784277a1e657cd4ee866001c

Although written nearly 100 years ago, "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost has meaning today. This poem is personally powerful for two reasons.

First, hiking is my hobby and I would relate to the back country setting. I've often encountered places where "two roads diverged in the yellow wood."

Second, I'm attracted to the larger metaphorical meaning of the poem. Frost writes "I took the one less travel by, and that has made all the difference." These lines relate to the important decisions that we make in life. I've often taken the "less traveled roads" in my life and it's truly made all of the difference.

Design your own activity for a class, club, or library program. First, create a diigo group and add least two activities in the group's forum. Be sure to provide examples or models to get the group started. Post the URL so others can explore. For example, a movie club might take notes on their favorite movie at IMDB or a science class might annotate biographies of Nobel Prize winners. For beginning activities, it's helpful to direct users to specific websites such as National Geographic or NPR.
