  3. PARAPHRASE: • Translate the poem line by line into your own words on a literal level. Look for complete thoughts (sentences may be inverted) and look up unfamiliar words.

  4. CONNOTATION: • Examine the poem for meaning beyond the literal. Look for figurative language, imagery, and sound elements.
