======================================
Unselected road
There are two roads in the yellow forest.
It's a pity that I can't be involved at the same time
I stood at that intersection for a long time.
I looked at a road that I could see.
But I chose another path.
It is lush and very lonely.
Appear more attractive and beautiful.
Although on these two paths
Few travelers leave footprints.
Although the leaves fell to the ground that morning
Neither road is polluted by footprints.
Oh, leave a way to see you another day.
But I know this road has no end.
I'm afraid I can't go back.
Maybe somewhere after many years.
I will sigh gently and look back.
Two roads diverged in the forest.
I chose a lonely road.
From then on, it decided my life path.
This famous poem "Untouched Road" is a four-step form of traditional iambic pentameter, but the pace is variable (including many inhibitory elements); The rhyme of each verse is abaab. In addition, his famous poem "Department" adopts double-line rhyme, which is catchy to read and rhymes beautifully.
Frost's poem The Road Not Taken is also one of my favorite poems in his works. The greatest feature of his poetry writing is that he is good at expressing a profound philosophy with seemingly insignificant things in front of him. It is precisely because he is good at saying abstract concepts with concrete things that his poems are easily accepted and understood by readers!
This is just as he wrote in a poem: "There are two roads in the yellow forest/it's a pity that I can't walk both roads at the same time/I chose the one that few people walk/which makes everything different." The poet chose poetry, giving up his teaching career in a normal school and giving up the possible plain and stable life. He said to himself: write poetry, be poor, so they came to England and found a wooden house in a village not far from London as their new home. Soon, his first book of poetry, The Will of Children, was published, which won the praise of the poet for its unique simplicity, frankness and sincerity. Pang wrote that this is the best collection of poems in America for a long time.
Notes on preparing lessons for the last road without choice

I. Understanding and reading the text
The road without choice is a famous American poet Robert? Frost's famous poem. Robert? Frost is one of the most popular poets in the 1990s in the United States. He is an unofficial poet laureate in the United States. He devoted his life to poetry creation, mainly writing and publishing 65,438+00 poems, and this one is a famous piece in his third collection of poems, The Interval between Mountains.
The whole poem consists of ***4 sections, which are divided into two layers: Section 65438 +0-3 is the first layer. In the Woods, "I" faced two roads. After thinking, I decided to choose a lonely road. At this level, the poet describes that choosing a lonely road is not a hasty decision, but a complicated psychological process. Describe "I" standing at a fork in the road and regret that I can't set foot on two roads at the same time. "I stood at that intersection for a long time", and wrote down my hesitation and long-term thinking: a road is flat and smooth, with no end in sight; The other road is lonely and desolate, full of temptation to explore, but "infinite beauty lies in the dangerous peak",
"I" finally chose the inaccessible road, leaving another road for the next day. This is obviously a kind of self-consolation after the author makes a choice, because "I know the road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward,/I'm afraid I can't go back", even so, I still have no hesitation.
The fourth section is the second layer, which is the author's emotion after many years.
"I chose a lonely road, which decided my life path from now on." This tells us that people face countless choices in their lives, and each choice will have an important impact on life; How a person spends his life depends on what choice he makes at the fork in the road. Different choices will lead to different fates.
One of the greatest characteristics of Frost's poetic style is unpretentious and meaningful, which contains profound thoughts and philosophies in plain content and simple poems. This poem is a model in this respect. The language of this poem is simple and natural, but the idea is very clever. We can easily see that the fork in the road described in the poem is a symbol of the fork in the road in life. Explain that in the journey of life, we often have to choose between two roads, two ideas or two actions, and different choices will determine different directions in life. When faced with choices, we often become hesitant, weigh repeatedly and make up our minds. In the end, we will choose one of them. This poem describes a person's choice and his mentality when he makes a choice. As for the specific content of choice, the poet pays attention to the choice itself. Every reader can find his own life experience and experience the philosophy in this poem. Because this poem is rich in connotation, it leaves readers with room for imagination, which is touching and arouses deep thought. This complex psychological experience that everyone has had was sensitively captured by Frost and written into a well-known masterpiece. I think this poem is so popular because it shows human feelings.
Second, explore the bright spots.
1. Think about the meaning of "road" in poetry.
Inquiry learning:
On the surface, poetry is about writing the road of nature, but in fact, it expresses thinking about the road of life through the road of nature, which is a common symbolic technique in literature and art.
In the second paragraph of the poem, the poet said that the other road was "lush and lonely". Why did he say "more attractive and more beautiful"?
Inquiry learning:
Just because there are few people, it is very lonely, but also because no one has set foot on it, it gives people a sense of freshness and makes it possible to discover the beauty that others have not discovered. This road is inaccessible, which means it may be more difficult and needs to be explored. Because of this, it is more attractive to explore.
3. What philosophy of life does this poem contain?
Inquiry learning:
Life is a choice again and again. At the fork of the road in life, what choice you make will determine how you spend your life. People can only choose one life path, so be careful. But we should also be bold in innovation and enterprising.
4. Why did the poet name this poem The Road Not Taken?
Inquiry learning:
This poem is about the choice of life path. The whole poem has four sections, the first section is about two paths, the second section is about the chosen path, and the third and fourth sections are about the unselected paths. It can be seen that the focus of the poet's writing is the road not chosen, which is also reflected in the title of the poem, mainly to deepen the theme. The poet lamented that there are many roads to choose from in life, but one can often only take one road, and there are many other roads, because life is too short to give up. The choice of life path is accidental and random. Poets don't write about the road of choice, but lament the road of choice, which can resonate with readers and make people think deeply about the choice of life.
Third, topic design
There are many sighs about "road" in ancient and modern China and abroad. For example, during the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan lamented: "The road is long, Xiu Yuan is Xi, Xiu Yuan is Xi, and I will go up and down." Russian writer ostrovsky said in his book How Steel was Tempered: "Life is the most precious thing for human beings. Life is only once for everyone. How should this only life be spent? Whenever I recall the past, I can not regret wasting my time and not be ashamed of being mediocre; On his deathbed, he could say, "My life and all my energy have been devoted to the greatest cause in the world, fighting for the liberation of mankind. The above materials can be compared with The Road Not Taken to explore how people spend their lives and how to face life choices.
Research methods:
First of all, in the face of life choices, we must think carefully; Secondly, we should make our life choices meaningful and valuable.
Reading purpose:
Li Sao;
How steel is tempered.
Fourth, prepare teaching cards.
● Card ①
Frost is a poet who aims to explain a certain philosophy through his own poems. He used images or metaphors to tell his experiences and clarify his attitude towards life, society and the universe. It is precisely because he attaches importance to the ideological content of poetry that his poems are not only full of wisdom and philosophy, but also always interesting and constantly updated to make people discover, gain and make progress.
(Excerpted from On American Writers edited by Wu Fuheng and Princess Wang Yu)
● Card ②
Frost is famous for writing lyric short poems. His lyric short poems are of high quality, which is a perfect combination of content and form. Lawrence pointed out that his main artistic achievement is that he can combine his thoughts and feelings with symbolic images and express them in the form of lyric poems.
For Frost, life is mysterious, and poetry may discover some of its mysteries, but it will never find out all the truth. Therefore, in a sense, his poems are the inspiration and annotation provided by his personal life experience. However, despite his strong individualization and self-centeredness, he is not an autobiographical poet. He used singular first person to increase the realism and appeal of his poems, and wrote down what seemed to be his own personal experience in his poems.
