Response: (Lauren, Rachel, Lydia) 1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing? The person is very organized with title pages separating ideas. For example, they did a good job in analyzing the road, I was able to focus on it. The analysis on themes was really good because it relates to the overall poem and not just one section.

2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis? More analysis on how the literary aspects contribute to the overall meaning of the poem would have helped the overall analysis. The video clearly states that it’s a iambic tetrameter with anapestic accents. But how do they help the meaning get passed to the reader was our question at the end.

3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing? Even if it’s the road (choice) that’s usually not taken, if could make a difference in your life. This main moral of the poem was amusing to us in that it really applies in real life. Some people like to make choice that are quite unique just because they believe in it. And those choice aren’t necessarily bad just because they aren’t the choices that majority of the people choose.

4. What is something you don't understand or find confusing? There wasn’t much that was very confusing but the last analysis on how the choice of taking the un-popular road made a difference in the speaker’s life could have been clearer. The difference could have been more analyzed if it was positive or negative. Or maybe a broader meaning on how choice made are best if it’s the choice that you make, regardless of the results, could have been added. Another reading of the poem at the end could also have helped us understand the overall poem at the end since that would have been when we fully listened to the analysis.

5. Comment on the visual portion of this video. Visual aspect was very good. We really liked the camera angles. But at the same time, we think that the poem should have been read at the end. By reading it at the end, we could have applied what we learned to the overall meaning. The green atmosphere of the scenes really made us visualize the poem.

 Evaluation -- Please complete on the person's wiki page and link to this on your page. You only need to answer 4 questions. Then do the same for your own, but add what grade you think you should get and why. Then in one -two sentences tell me something about your process of analyzing or making the video.

1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing? Organization and structure of the video is clear and the purpose of each section (of the video) is definite. 2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis? He could have analyzed the poem in two separate ways--in the Biblical sense and in the light-hearted love's sense. He has a mix of both here and there. 3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing? He refers to other poems such as Shakespeare and William Carlos Williams. 4. What is something you don't understand or find confusing? We thought that the biblical reference was a bit out of place in terms of organization. 5. Comment on the visual portion of this video. Visual portion was great towards the end-- loved the way you added your own narration with the guitar!:) But it could have been better if there were more images in the beginning.

**Comment on My Own Video** 1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing? We tried to include different topics and connect them together-- themes, symbols, lines, stanzas, and even the rhyme and rhythm. I think this can help the readers understand the poem as a whole instead of focusing on just one section of the analysis and ending it there. 2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis? We had to cut a 2 minute analysis of the woods out because we ran out of time and thought that it's a bit repetitive with the theme section. But if we could do it again, I think we can make it short but still deep. 3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing? We really tried hard to link it to us to make it meaningful and interesting. I think this led our analysis to be a bit more personal. 5. Comment on the visual portion of this video. Jennifer and I tried hard to make our video unique-- we searched for a place where the roads diverged, tried to get different shots that follow the lines in the poem, and tried to incorporate the mood (that we thought) of the poem in our video as well. I think we did a fairly good job on the video:)

I think Jenn and I should get an AAAAAA!!!<333 :)kkkk We really really tried hard to make this video flow... I think the best part of our video is that it's unique. Instead of using pictures that are from internet, we tried to use photos and videos that we created, which I think makes our video special:)
