This webquest was created for my students to gain additional knowledge about Robert Frost and also to use poems to find out a poet's views about life.

Learners

This is designed to cover 11th or 12th grade English. It encourages students to analyze poetry on a whole other level.

The learners should know how to analyze poetry, looking for certain themes. They will have already had practice doing this in class.
