Poetry Analysis Device - TPCASTT
by Sarah LorntsonThe acronym TPCASTT (Title, Paraphrase, Connotations, Attitude, Shifts, Title, Theme) is helpful for students who are learning how to analyze a poem. When I assign a poem for homework, students must complete TPCASTT in their notebook along with the reading. This resource is part of the Poetry Unit and the English 10 course.
Poetry Devices Scavenger Hunt
by Sarah LorntsonThis activity requires students to read poetry in order to find common poetic devices. I go to the school media center and check out about 40-50 books of poetry (nearly the entire collection). Then I have students use these books to find the items on the worksheet. Students enjoy reading and sharing poetry, and they often find a new favorite poem or poet. This activity would also work well on computers. You could direct students to sites like poets.org that have vast collections of poetry. This resource is part of the Poetry Unit and the English 10 course.
Poetry Devices Scavenger Hunt Follow-Up Activity
by Sarah LorntsonAssign this to students when they finish the Poetry Devices Scavenger Hunt. It's fun to have all their favorite lines of poetry on the wall as you study different poems. This resource is part of the Poetry Unit and the English 10 course.
