    Virtual Field Trip: The Harlem Renaissance

    Guided Poetry Analysis

    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. Look
    for complete thoughts (sentences may be inverted) and look up unfamiliar words.

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

    ATTITUDE/TONE: Notice the speakers tone and attitude. Humor? Sarcasm? Awe?

    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).
