Alabama ELA Standards: CL.E.S10-Present research findings to a peer audience, either formally or informally, conveying

credible, accurate information from multiple sources, including diverse media. CL.E.S11-Participate in collaborative discussions

involving multiple perspectives, responding and contributing with relevant evidence and commentary. RL.E.W24-Utilize

responsible and ethical research practices to write clear, coherent products with a command of language suitable for a particular

target audience and purpose. RL.E.W25-Integrate information from at least two sources into writing by quoting, paraphrasing, or

summarizing and cite sources, following the rules of a particular style guide.

Objective: To research multiple sources to learn about a particular poet; to write a narrative; to closely read and

analyze a poem by my chosen poet; to visually depict my poetry analysis.

Poet Research (2 pages): Find two scholarly sources (use the Alabama Virtual Library) on the life, works or other

relevant information about your poet. Write annotated bibliographies on each source. An annotated bibliography is a

list of sources where each entry is followed by a brief description and evaluative paragraph. You should describe the

author’s point of view, authority on the subject, intended audience and clarity of information. Each bibliography

should be one page in length, 12pt font, double space. The citation should be at the top of the page underneath your

header and have a hanging indent (in Google Does, highlight the citation > Format > Align and Indent > Indentation

Options > Special Indent > Hanging) .

Poet Biography (one page): Using your two scholarly sources, write a one-page narrative on your poet. Use first

person point of view (I, we, me, etc.) and write as though you are the poet. Tell about your life and your poetry. Your

narrative must be at least one page, typed (on a Google Doc), and double spaced.

Poem Research: Read several poems written by your selected author. Choose FIVE and type a summary of each

one. Each should be at least five sentences (one paragraph). You do NOT need to include a copy of each poem.

Choose two of those poems you’d like to analyze further for the next part of the assignment.

TPCASTT on Your TWO Selected Poems: Independently, complete a thorough TPCASTT (see instructions and

example) analysis on the two poems you have selected. You must type in complete sentences and include text

evidence (quotes) where indicated to get full credit. Do not consult outside sources for your TPCASTT analysis.

This is to reflect your own ideas about the poem and is to be written in your own words. You will receive a zero on

the entire assignment for ideas that seem to be taken from another source on your TPCASTT. I have included an

example of a TPCASTT on Google Classroom. I will also type an example with you in class.

Presentation: Create a five-slide presentation about your poet. Your slide should include the following information-

1.) poet name, date of birth/death, education, family information. Include an image of your poet. 2.) Choose one of

the five poems you summarized and include it on the slide to discuss with the class. 3.) Choose one of the five

poems you summarized and include it on the slide to discuss with the class. 4.) Include another poem or other

information you found about your poet that might interest your classmates. 5.) How did this poet impact literature,

writing or future works?

Submit on Google Classroom: You must submit the following to receive full credit for this project Two

bibliographies (one page each), one page biography, five poem summaries of your choice by the selected poet (one

paragraph each), two TPCASTT, five slide Google Slides presentation including all required information in order.

TP-CASTT

Title: Ponder the title before reading the poem. Make predictions. What will the poem

likely be about? Are there any words in the title you need to look up?

Paraphrase: Translate the poem into your own words. This is the plot of the poem. This

is where you make sure you clearly understand the literal meaning of any unfamiliar

words.

Connotation: Consult your list of literary terms. Begin looking at how the poem is

constructed. What devices of figurative language are used? What is the rhyme scheme

like? Why have certain words been chosen over others?

Attitude: Describe the tone, or mood of the speaker. What is his/her attitude toward the

topic?

Shift: Trace the changing feelings of the speaker from beginning to end. Does the

speaker’s attitude seem different than it was at the beginning? Look for shifts after

transition words, after strong punctuation marks or after stanza divisions.

Title (Again): Look at the title on an interpretive level. Does it have new, added, or

deeper meaning now that you have read the poem closely?

Theme: The theme must be stated as a complete sentence that has meaning beyond

the poem. It is the central message that the poet has attempted to communicate to the

reader.

EXAMPLE: “Head, Heart” by Lydia Davis

Head, Heart

Heart weeps.

Head tries to help heart.

Head tells heart how it is, again:

You will lose the ones you love. They will all go. But

even the earth will go, someday.

Heart feels better, then.

But the words of head do not remain long in the ears of

heart.

Heart is so new to this.

I want them back, says heart.

Head is all heart has.

Help, head. Help heart.

TThe title seems to mean the different ways we think, using our intelligence or using

our emotions.

PThe heart of someone is crying, and the mind of that person is trying to console the

emotions by explaining that people die. The heart feels better for a short time and wants

I want them back, says heart. Head is all heart has. Help, head. Help heart.

TThe title seems to mean the different ways we think, using our intelligence or using our emotions.

PThe heart of someone is crying, and the mind of that person is trying to console the emotions by explaining that people die. The heart feels better for a short time and wants the dead person to be alive again. The thoughts of the deceased person is all that the heart has and needs the mind to help deal with the grief. The poem discusses the emotions of losing someone and the way the mind (logical thoughts) try to help with the grief. CThe poem personifies the head and the heart by having them talk to each other. The head and heart are symbols for reasoning and emotions. It is written in free verse with no rhyme scheme. The word choice appears simple and logical. The poem’s structure leads to longer lines in the middle and then shorter again. AThe tone of the author is “matter-of-fact” with no true opinion being presented about the process of dealing with death and grief.

SThere are two shifts with the “heart”: it feels better then needs help again. TThe title takes on a deeper meaning of grief after reading the poem. TEmotions and reactions to grief come and go just as the cycle of life.
