Reading Poetry
Reading poetry is not that different than reading a short story, novel, or article.
In order to make reading poetry less scary we use the TPCAST strategy.
3
Poll
How do you feel about reading poetry?
4
Title
Think about the title and try to predict what the poem may be about.
Activating that prior knowledge you already have makes reading a poem a lot easier.
5
Multiple Select
The title of the poem is:
The Road Not Taken
What is a logical prediction about this title? Select all that apply.
It is about a road that might not be very popular with everyone.
It might be about regrets someone has in their life.
It might be about a car.
It might be about making choices.
6
Paraphrase
Determine what is going on in the poem. What is the plot? What is the literal meaning of the poem? Focus on each thing that happens, as it happens, in the poem.
7
Multiple Choice
What is an accurate way to describe paraphrasing?
Picking out what you think is important and writing it down.
Breaking down the text little by little to understand what is actually happening.
Analyzing the text for the deeper meaning
8
Connotation
Are there poetic devices which contribute to the meaning or the effect of the poem? Consider imagery, figures of speech (simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism) diction, point of view, and sound devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, and rhyme).
9
Multiple Select
After paraphrasing the text for its literal meaning you begin to look for ____________ (select all that apply).
Figurative language
Sound devices
Diction
POV
Imagery
10
Poll
This isn't part of the grade.
I understand all of the words from the previous slide (figurative language, diction, POV, sound devices, imagery, etc.)
11
Attitude
Examine diction, images, and details which might suggest the speaker’s attitude. What is the tone of the poem? (See “TONE WORDS” HANDOUT.)
12
Fill in the Blanks
Type answer...
13
Shifts
Rarely does the poet’s experience begin and end in the same place. This “shift” is a gradual realization of this new understanding. In order to determine where this occurs, watch for the following:
● keywords (but, yet, however, although)
● punctuation (dashes, periods, colons)
● stanza divisions
● changes in line or stanza length or both
● irony
● changes in sound that may indicate changes in meaning
● changes in diction
14
Multiple Choice
True/False
Shifts are ALWAYS there!
True
False
15
Theme
Identify the theme by attempting to recognize the human experience, motivation, or condition suggested by the poem.
1. summarize the “plot” of the poem;
2. list the subject or subjects of the poem (move from literal subjects to abstract concepts such as death, war, discovery; and… finally,
3. determine what the poet is saying about each subject and write a complete sentence.
16
Multiple Choice
Which of these is a theme statement?
A summary of the poem.
What the poem is about.
The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
is about fate, and reveals that a person’s choices
can lead to consequences that are completely
beyond his control.
