This is based on something I heard at some hishtalmut,
but I can't remember where or by whom.
In any case, thank you!!
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening".
I printed a picture from Gene's wonderful illustrated
Frost site
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/1487/index.html
and put it on the board.
We brainstormed words about the picture -
cold, winter, snow, trees (and woods) and so on.
Then I passed out the poem.
1. Read it aloud - so they heard the rhythm, the wind,
the "s" sounds etc.
2. read each stanza again - and understood it. (They
didn't know every word, but did understand the idea.)
3. assignment - Write sentences about the picture /
poem.
The really weak ones wrote "Snow is cold." etc. The
stronger ones got to things like "The snow is cold in
winter, I saw it in the dark woods."
I also told them of seeing Frost on TV, reading one of
his poems at Kennedy's inauguration. (In Massachusetts
there was a snow storm, so no school that day.) (I was
in the 5th grade, but I didn't tell the kids that...)
I think one of the important things I achieved here was
that they studied a poem by Frost, exactly like all the
stronger classes.
btw - at http://www.salon.com/audio/2000/10/05/frost/
you can hear Frost reading this poem.)
