ANALYZE
•TPCASTT
•T-title: The meaning of the title without reference to the poem.
•P-paraphrase: Put the poem, line by line, in your own words. DO NOT READ INTO THE POEM. Only read on surface level.
•C-connotation: looking for deeper meaning.
•A-attitude: Looking for the author’s tone. How is the writer speaking?
•S-shifts: Looking for shifts in tone, action, and rhythm. Don’t just write the number. Discuss how the shift(s) affects the poem.
•T-title: reevaluate the title as it pertains to the poem
•T-theme: What does the poem mean? What is it saying? How does it relate to life?
