  1. Poetry Analysis Using TPCASTT

  2. TPCASTT & Poetry

  3. Let’s Try One • In groups of 5, complete a TPCASTT chart as best you can with a new poem.

  4. STOP! Don’t read ahead yet! We must first only look at the title!

  5. T is for TITLE • Analyze the title first. • What do you predict this poem will be about? • Write down your predictions. • We will reflect on the title again after we have read the poem.

  6. T is for TITLE: Let’s Look at the example poem

  7. P is for PARAPHRASE • Paraphrasing is putting something in your own words. • After reading the poem, rewrite it in your own words. • This may be three sentences or a page, depending on the particular poem.

  9. C is for CONNOTATION • Analyze the figures of speech and sound effects of the poem. • These elements add to the meaning, imagery and aesthetics. apostrophe ASSONANCE alliteration RHYME diction personification onomatopoeia simile implied metaphor meter HYPERBOLE direct metaphor

  11. A is for ATTITUDE • Attitude =Tone • is the attitude of the speaker toward the subject of the poem.

  12. A is for ATTITUDE • Tone terms:

  13. A is for ATTITUDE But “sigh” could have many tones. What do you think? • Tone example: What word(s) give a clue? • Robert Frost’s “The Road not Taken” “I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.”

  14. A is for ATTITUDE: Let’s look at our example poem

  15. S is for SHIFT • If there is a change in… • Time • Tone • Speaker This should always be noted as this will also affect the meaning. There can be multiple shifts too!

  16. S is for SHIFT: Let’s look at our example poem • If there is a change in… • Time • Tone • Speaker This should always be noted as this will also affect the meaning.

  17. T is for TITLE (again) • At this time, you should reconsider the title. • Were you right in your predictions? • What other meanings might the title have in light of your analysis?
