Learning Log 5

After finishing reading the guide to tackling the Unseen, i have learnt and gained some knowledge. Now, im to share on what i have learnt:)

From the booklet, i have learnt on how we should approach an Unseen Prose Passage. We have to read the text thrice, before trying to understand the meaning of difficult words and phrase i may not understand, which is what i did not know before.

Secondly, i have learnt the PEEL techniques that will help me in answering the question, as i have forgotten about it after the holidays, where by we need to give a point, explain and elaborate, envidence or example and the link    :D

Thirdly, i learnt the ABCs in quoting, which is Attention, Brief and the Context. The "Attention " is where we need to choose words that are drawing in attention. The "Brief" is where we we have to keep the quotation short in order not to make it look like it is a"cut and paste"job.

Also, i have learnt the skills in the analysis of text.As in general, there are 4 levels of analytical skills, which is "a clear awareness of the text's meaning","a logical interpretation of the text","a detailed analysis and evaluation of the text" and "an insight response to the text".

This are the few points of what i have learnt from reading the booklet :)

I can't wait for the lesson on the unseen, hopefully, i would be as entertaining, interesting and fun as i thought it would be :)
