Emily Dickinson One of the “great unknown Romantic writers” – Dickinson was a shut in from a young age due to shyness and poor health. During her lifetime (1830-1886) Dickinson published only 7 of her 1800 poems. After her death, her sister decided to publish a collection of her poems and they became incredibly popular. Like most Romantics, Dickinson saw poetry as a way to express herself and write about her inner truths. She often wrote about her complex feelings about nature, death, and society.

TPCASTT Analysis Practice! Pick a partner or a group of three. Each person in a pair or trio will choose a different Emily Dickinson poem to analyze using the TPCASTT method. Once you’ve completed your analyses, you’ll come together and discuss your findings. Your job will be to decide which poem best emulates Romantic values – so make sure you have your Romanticism notes. 

TPCASTT Analysis Practice! Read through all four Dickinson poems with your group. Don’t worry about so much about understanding them for now – just get a sense of what each poem is like. Decide who is going to analyze which poem. Begin your individual TPCASTT analyses. Make sure you follow each step entirely! If you need help, don’t be afraid to let me know. 

TPCASTT Analysis Practice! Once all of your group members are finished, walk them through your TPCASTT analysis. Here’s what you should do: Read your poem aloud again Summarize your paraphrase – what did you think was literally happening in the poem? Discuss at least two moments from the poem that stuck out to you in the connotation, attitude, or shift stages. Share your insight with your group mates – what do those lines or words add to the poem? Share your proposed theme with your groupmates. Explain your thinking – how do you know that’s what Dickinson was trying to say?

TPCASTT Analysis Practice! Once all group members have shared, respond individually to the prompt below on the back of your TPCASTT sheet: Out of all of the poems analyzed in your group (including your own), which do you think most embodies the Romantic movement? Be sure to name the title of the poem, reference a specific element of Romantic thinking, and explain how that poem shows that element using textual evidence. Once you’re finished, feel free to work on your IXL for the week: D.1 and D.2.
