  3. What’s a TPCASTT? TITLE: Consider the title and make a prediction about what the poem is about PARAPHRASE: Translate the poem line by line into your own words on a literal level. CONNOTATION: Examine the poem for meaning beyond the literal. Look for figurative language, imag- ery, and sound elements. ATTITUDE/TONE: Notice the speaker’s tone and attitude. Humor? Sarcasm? Awe?

  4. TPCASTT cont. SHIFTS: Note any shifts or changes in speaker or attitude. Look for key words, time change, punctuation. TITLE: Examine the title again, this time on an interpretive level THEME: Briefly state in your own words what the poem is about (subject), then what the poet is saying about the subject (theme).

  13. 9.4 Journal #5 • The Puritans were very superstitious. • We can see that with Abigail (she drinks blood to put a curse on Goody Proctor) and Goody Putnam (she believes she’s been cursed and that’s why so many of her children have died). • What are some things about which you are superstitious? • Or are you totally not superstitious in any way? • Can superstitions be good or bad?
