What teachers are saying about this The Road Not Taken activity:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a fun activity and my students really got into it. It was a great way to break up our poetry unit and gave them time to play with words. Their creations were funny, serious, personal, and insightful. Made a nice bulletin board display, too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This made the lesson so much more engaging for my students! I even used it for my formal observation. The kids (and my admin) loved it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This lesson is a breath of fresh air for the students. After analyzing the poem, the activity allows them to be creative. Well worth the money.
