Learning Log 5

After reading the “diver” worksheet, I have learnt that unseen poem or prose passage is simply one that we have not seen before. Sometimes we may have seen it before but we do not have the chance to work on it. To unlock the meaning of a poem, we need to add in our personal feelings and emotions while reading. The first step and the third step on reading the unseen poem and the unseen prose are similar. The difference in the second step is that the unseen poem needs us to add in imaginations and feelings when reading it more slowly. But the second step of the prose passage is to get a better understanding of the characters and see how they are related to one another. We also need to observe the mood and settings. I have also found out that we are allowed to take down our points at the side of the poem. There are two techniques that can help us organize our answers. They are the IBC model and the PEEL model. In the IBC model, the introduction comes first, followed by the body and lastly a conclusion. In the PEEL model, the point comes first followed by the explanation or the elaboration and the evidence and lastly the link. :) I hope that you will teach us more about this on the next lesson.
