  1. TP-CASTTPOETRY PRESENTATION A summative assignment…so pay CLOSE attention!!!

  2. Instructions • Groups of 4 but marked individually • Each group will be select a poem (from my list) to analyse and will have to complete a fifteen-twenty minute poetry presentation • You will have two periods in class to work on this presentation. Outside work/research/homework may be necessary!

  3. Your presentation must contain the following components: • A Power Point/Prezi: This will be your visual to focus the presentation around. Make sure to have your poem included in the power point and give the class a chance to read it before you begin. • A Dramatic Reading of your poem: Be creative. Use of voice, movement, sound effects and props may capture interest. Memorize your part of the poem! • A Brief Discussion about the Poet: Include any information that you feel will enhance your audience’s enjoyment of the poem.

  4. Your presentation must contain the following components: • A TP-CASTT Analysis: • Title: Examine the title before reading the poem. Consider connotations. What is implied or suggested? • Paraphrase: Translate the poem into your own words (literal meaning). Resist the urge to jump to interpretation (connotation). • Connotation: Examine the poem for meaning beyond the literal.Look for: • Diction- Why did the poet choose the words he/she did? • Poetic Devices- Examine all poetic devices used and explain their significance to the overall theme of the poem. Be thorough. • Sound Devices-Examine the rhyme, rhythm and any other sound devices used.

  5. Your presentation must contain the following components: • Attitude: Examine the speaker and/or poet's attitudes in the poem. Note: they may not be the same.Look for: • Speakers attitude toward self, other characters and the subject • Attitudes of characters other than the speaker • Poet's attitude toward the speaker, other character, the subject and the reader • Shifts: Note shifts in speaker and attitudes.Look for: • Occasion of the poem (time and place shifts) • Key words (eg. But, yet) • Punctuation (dashes, periods, colons, ellipsis) • Stanza divisions / changein line and/or stanza length • Irony (sometimes irony hides sifts) and shifts in tone • Title (revisited): Examine the title again, this time on an interpretative level. • Theme: List all the subjects in the poem, and then determine what the poet is saying about those subjects (thematic statement) • Note: there may be more than one theme in a poem.

  6. Your presentation must contain the following components: • A way to Involve the Class: You must find a way to involve class members in your presentation. It may be through a discussion about the poem or a game. Be creative and try to involve the class in a meaningful way. You are the teachers. • A Conclusion: The presentation has to have a logical conclusion that ties everything together. • An Outline of your Presentation: Submit your TPCASTT analysis and an agenda for your presentation clearly laid out.

  7. Helpful Hints: • While preparing your seminar, please consider the following: • When you present information to your audience, present it to them – don’t read it! • When conducting your game or class discussion, please prepare enough questions to facilitate a discussion. Asking simple questions like “what do think about this poem?” will likely illicit meaningless value judgments. • Use your visuals – don’t just show them. If you show your audience something without talking about it, or without actually explaining it, you might as well just

  8. Helpful Hints: • Bring the seminar to a logical conclusion – don’t just say “that’s all folks…” • PRACTICE /REHEARSE your seminar individually, and as an entire group, over and over again until your pace and timing are perfect.

  9. Presentations begin... • This Monday! If you are not ready to present, you forfeit your chance to present • The order of presentations is up to me! • Make sure you can do YOUR part of the presentation. If someone in your group is away, you’re STILL going!

  10. Choosing Groups, Choosing Poems... (Good news, bad news) • YOU can pick your own groups! (Must be groups of 4) Decide wisely! • There are only 7 poems to choose from (and 7 groups), so first come, first served! • Poems are of varying length, familiarity, difficulty, etc. • Here’s how you get to get first pick, then...
