Answer 2

Answer:

This is my favourite Robert Frost poem (and not just because it’s short and I can recite it…):

Dust of Snow

The way a crow

Shook down on me

The dust of snow

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

A change of mood

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued.

This poem doesn’t really have a lot to do with teaching. It’s not particularly inspirational or life changing. But “Dust of Snow” has a lot to do with attitude and how we respond to the things that we can’t control in life.

I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, (here’s a link), that the only thing we can control is our attitude or response to what happens in life. Basically, we can think of the things that we don’t expect as either nuisances or gifts. In the poem the crow and the hemlock tree could be seen as signs of foreboding and perhaps even danger and, of course, the snow is cold. Yet the poet’s attitude towards what has happened actually changes his mood and turns a bad day into a happier one. The quick, light rhythm of the poem further emphasizes its positive feeling.

When teachers make lesson plans we tend to try to control everything to make sure that the class stays on track. Five minutes for warm up, ten minutes to engage the students, ten minutes for study focus and so on. It’s understandable. There’s usually a lot of material to cover and limited class time to cover it all.

But there are so many things going on inside and between the students in each class. We can’t really control everything that’s going to happen. When something does take us off course, how will we react?

When a student’s interesting, yet slightly off topic remark leads us away from the lesson plan, is it a nuisance or a gift?

Be open to the unplanned, to the things that you don’t expect in a lesson. They really are gifts that can help us understand our students more deeply.
