Provide instructions on how to read a poem. Be sure to address specific skills
and lessons learned from what was discussed in class.
To analyze a poem, you should first start out by reading it aloud. In many
cases, you won’t know the meaning of every word. Look up the definitions of
those words; also paraphrase all of the lines. Once you understand what the
poem is about you should be on the right track. To understand it more list who
is the speaker, the tone of the poem, and the rhyme scheme. One thing that
helps me is when I notice a change in the tone I make a clear mark that would
indicate a change in the poem. Knowing the amount of beats in a stanza is
something to look for too. One more important tip is to know the structure of
the poem.
