  2. TITLE: • Consider the title and make a prediction about what the poem is about.

  3. PARAPHRASE: • Translate the poem line by line into your own words on a literal level. Look for complete thoughts (sentences may be inverted) and look up unfamiliar words.

  4. CONNOTATION: • Examine the poem for meaning beyond the literal. Look for figurative language, imagery, and sound elements.

  5. ATTITUDE/TONE: • Notice the speaker’s tone and attitude. Humor? Sarcasm? Awe?
