After reading ''The Unseen'' worksheet, I have learnt the techniques on how to deal with them. When approaching the unseen poem, we have to read through it twice. The first time is to read through without stopping and the second to pck up words or phrases that are difficult or interesting.
When answering questions based on the unseen poem, we have to read it carefully and use our own words whenever possible. Also we should not rush through the poem or make general statements without explaining why. To organise your answer, there are two effective techniques. One is the IBC (Introduction, Body, Conclusion) and the other is the PEEL (Point, Explain and Elaborate, Evidence and Example, Link), both which can be helpful in the organisation of the answer.
The quoting of words or phrases is common in the questions given in the unseen poem. It may be a long quotation or short quotation but the insertion of inverted commas is important. In quoting, there is also a type of method to answer it, which is through the ABC (Attention, Brief, Context).
It may seem as if the answering of the unseen is difficult, but in actual fact, if the correct methods and precautions are taken, you might find it different form what you think.
