I had done unseen in last year's literature class so it is just a extension of what I had learnt.
Something new I have learnt is how to phrase my evidence in a more professional way. Instead of quoting the whole line, I can pick out phrases and combine it into my answer. Incorporating phrases or words into my sentence like this " He almost seems friendly, as he 'grin', 'neatly spreads his claws' and has 'gently smiling jaws'." This way, my sentences show my true understanding of the text.
As I read through the notes, the main thing they wanna convey to us is how to structure our answer. In secondary one, we were told to follow the PEE rule and PEEP for essay. In this, you are suppose to go with the PEEL (which sounds the best among the three). P stands for point, by giving a sentence about how you feel and the main idea of what you're going to write after that. The first E stands for Explain: Elaborate which means you have to state reasons for that point. The next E is Evidence: Example is to quote from the text. Lastly, how what you had wrote relates to the question, something like a impact statement in History. This is quite the same as I do in the other humanities and my debate speech.
Overall, learning on my own was quite bad because I could not focus when Im alone and nobody to ask when I have questions.
