Our study of poetry will continue--Grades 12 and 11 will develop a Literary Analysis Essay. The students may choose between "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, and "The Rainy Day," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Grades 8, 9, and 10 will write Compare/Contrast essays on those two poems. Quite a good challenge! Grade 7 will develop a graphic organizer comparing the two poems.
