1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing?
- Jennifer and Sarah did well in the paraphrasing and interpreting part. They were also thorough in analyzing the types of feet and meter.
2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis?
- Maybe the song could have been omitted from the analysis part. Also, describing poetic elements could have been added. Minor change, but theme analysis would be better if explained in between the paraphrasing and meter parts.
3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing?
- Having a detailed and well-organized overview of meter and feet was great. Song was amusing only in the reading part though.
4. What is something you don't understand or find confusing?
- The paraphrasing part, although thorough, was somewhat repetitive as you were focusing on the explicit parts. It could have been better with more focus on details. For instance, adding the author’s purpose in specific words could have worked fine.

1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing?
The person uses the poetry terminology very well. She takes every stanza and analyzes at a deeper level. She definitely goes beyond just the literal meaning and backs up her thesis in a variety of ways: rhyme, metaphor and etc.
2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis?
The voice sounds like she is just reading off of a paper so maybe having the voice more natural and exciting (?) will help grab the viewer's attention more. The analysis part of the video is really long so it should really be interesting.
3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing?
How even the rhyme scheme that Robert Frost used relates to the overall theme of the poem: making a decision. He doesn't follow the typical rhyme scheme of iambic pentameter, which is breaking away from the norm.
5. Comment on the visual portion of this video.
The visual aspect of the video was pretty good but maybe for the analysis part, direct your mouse or high light the specific word/line to make your point even more clear. Sometimes, I got lost.

1. Analysis -- what specifically does the person do well in analyzing?
I think Sarah and I did well on connecting metaphor and sound devices to the theme. We tried to see the video as in listeners perspective and tried to explain each poetic term like anapest and provide examples so that they can understand easily.
2. Analysis -- if the person had to do this again, what would you recommend in analysis?
We would break down each section more clearly by making title so that the listeners can easily follow what we are talking about.
3. What is something you found surprising? or amusing?
I realized that thinking about sounding devices and connecting those to the central theme were pretty easy than I thought it would be.
4. What is something you don't understand or find confusing?
I think we didn't hint the readers what we're going to talk about next as in visual aids. If we had done it by putting titles, our video could've been better.
*Comment: We really tried to connect every section of analysis to a bigger theme. We tried to put effective proper artistic shots at the right moment. Also, Sarah and I tried to help the readers in understanding the poem by providing definitions for each poetic term and gave examples of which the listeners could easily follow.
