  2. Warm-up • Write about a time when you had to make a tough decision. Why was it so hard? Did you have any regrets? What was the outcome? (5-9 sentences)

  3. Learning Target • We will be able to effectively compare two different pieces of literature (poetry and a short story) Learning Criteria • I will participate in a class discussion using my Cornell notes. • I will copy down the notes comparing the short story and the poem. • I will find two lines in each text that compare to one another and fill out my chart explaining how.

  5. Cornell Notes/Discussion • What did you find? • Who is the speaker? How do you know? • What is the setting? • Did you find any metaphors? • What do you think the theme of this poem is? • What images does the author create?

  6. Poem Vs. Story • Now that we have discussed the poem go back through and find lines that remind you of lines in “the Utterly Perfect Murder” and explain HOW. • You are going to have to go back to the story “The Utterly Perfect Murder” so that you can write down those lines as well.

  7. Example How they Relate In both texts the narrator/speaker chooses a clear path. Choosing that path made a big difference to both speakers. In “The Utterly Perfect Murder” the speaker gets to go home and live out the rest of his years andin the poem the speaker feels relief at finally choosing a direction to go in life. “The Utterly Perfect Murder” “Then swiftly, fleeing ahead of the dawn…back toward Now and Today for the rest of my life” “The Road Not Taken” “I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”
