Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;He will not see me stopping hereTo watch his woods fill up with snow.My little horse must think it queerTo stop without a farmhouse nearBetween the woods and frozen lakeThe darkest evening of the year.He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound's the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.The woods are lovely, dark and deep.But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.

Activity 12- Think Alouds
When we read, we often have a “conversation” in our head. Did you ever read something and think, “oh man!” or “that was weird!”?
As we read these Think Alouds, we’re going to practice this reading strategy.
