He looked at them one after another as far as he could and felt undecided which to take.

He took the less travelled road even though he was uncertain whether he had made the right choice.
(3) What do you think the two roads in the poem symbolize
The road itself symbolizes the journey of life, while the image of the road forking off into two paths symbolizes the choices and opportunities we are presented with, and which ultimately lead us into the unknown future that lies ahead of us.

2、 While-writing
1.学生活动:完成C部分的活动,教师让学生背诵诗歌当中的一小部分,组织学生两人一组对诗歌做出讨论。学生可以参考C部分给出的一些表达。
a) What message do you think the poem is trying to get across to readers
"The Road Not Taken" suddenly presents the poet and the reader with a dilemma. The central message is that, in life, we are often presented with choices. When making a choice, one is required to make a decision. Viewing a choice as a fork in a path, it becomes clear that we can only choose one direction or another, but not both. Any person who has made a decisive choice will agree that it is human nature to contemplate the “What if ...” of the choice you did not make. But who knows what the future holds down the road The poet implies that, when he is older, he might look back at this turning point in his life, the morning he took the road less travelled, because taking that particular route completely altered his way of being.
b) Have you ever been in a similar situation Connect your own experience with the poem.
Yes. Standing at a crossroad, with four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where I should go, I don’t really know where a road will lead me until I take it. The only thing I have power over is the decisions that I will make, and how I will react to different situations.
2.学生活动:学生分小组讨论D部分,了解诗歌评论的写法,教师通过以下问题帮助学生理解:
What is a poetry review

(2)What do you find the hardest when writing the article?
5.学生活动:学生之间交换所写的诗歌评论进行相互评价。并注意以下几点:
Punctuation spelling grammar
choice of words style (formal/informal) structure
Does your partner agree with you on your understanding of the poem
How can you improve your writing to make it more convincing
三、After-writing
教师活动:邀请几位同学展示他们的作品。
The Road Not Taken is a poem by American poet Robert Frost. This poem describes a situation where the writer needs to choose from two roads. The "roads" not only refer to the real roads he meets while walking in the yellow woods, but also symbolize different directions in life. The choice has such a big impact on our life that we hesitate a lot at the crossroads.
In my opinion, everyone is a traveler on our journey through life. Once we make a choice, we have little chance to go back, so what we need to do is embrace the future actively rather than sigh for the past.
