 * Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken" (1915)**

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.


 * Backward Design Wiki**

You will work in groups to propose the results and assessment for your backward design of Frost's poem. You'll design the class on your own.


 * First**, creat a group page. Click on the "New Page" link in the left column. Name the page with your group name. This will be your collaborative workspace for the first two stages of your backward design. Make sure you've saved your page - - after saving the page, it should appear in the navigation column to the left.

Next, go to the "Results" page in the navigation column to the left. Add a link to your group page: click "Edit," type in the name of your group, click on the link icon in the editing bar, choose the page you've already created as the page to link to, and make sure to save. Repeat with the "Assessment" page.

Now, get to work on your group page. Click "Edit" and start typing.

When you're ready to design the class - - create a new page with your name. Be sure to insert a link to your individual page on the "Design" page. (Follow steps above, but linking to your page rather than your group's page.)

You can add images, videos, and other objects by using the toolbar at the top of the page.

Remember, a version of each page you edit is stored in the wiki. If you make a mistake or delete something or just want to remind yourself of your earlier ideas, click on the "Recent Changes" button in the left column.
