In this episode of With Honors, "Words in Motion," sophomores Mary and Kara explore the art of poetry and how tools like TPCASTT can transform the way we read and analyze verse. As they walk through the TPCASTT process step by step, they discuss how tone, imagery, and structure shape meaning. They also reminisce about previous classes and why poetry isn’t as intimidating as it first seems. Mary shares how her perspective on poetry has evolved through practice, while Kara reflects on both her and her family's attitudes toward poets like Edgar Allan Poe and Will Shakespeare. Together, they show that poetry analysis isn’t about finding a single right answer, but rather about engaging with the text in a meaningful way.
