Today, I want to give you some background into the saw used (or maybe used) for Frost's poem and also what inspired the poem. Click here and read the first four paragraphs about the type of saw Frost likely had in mind when writing. You should also play the video. Then, answer the questions I asked you about the saw on the worksheet. Then, read the "Out, Out... obituary below." Answer the questions I ask on the back of the worksheet. Finally, given everything you've thought about and read about this poem, write me one paragraph that either tells me how this background information has helped you to better understand the poem (give me three specific examples) OR a paragraph that shares with me some brilliant ideas you have about this poem, about what ideas Frost is exploring in the poem and about why he made this a poem instead of an essay.
