Provocation
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost, ‘The Road Not Taken’
• Are you a follower or a leader? Which is better to be? Which is harder to be?
• Do you believe in fate? Are our lives written for us, or are we able to write them?
• Discuss a time when you have taken a chance. What was the outcome?
• Make a list of things you would like to do but don’t have the courage.
• To what extent do you try to take the path ‘less traveled by’?
Task 1
Create a piece of prose, poetry or artwork in response to the language and/or themes of the poem.
Task 2
