Learning Log 5

Today, I had read the booklet that Mrs. Woo required us to read and I spent quite a long time to finish reading the booklet as the booklet has quite many pages. There are many knowledge in the booklet, it has teach us how to understand the unseen poem, how to answer the questions and how to organize and write an essay. After finished reading the booklet, I knew that we must read the poem at least twice and if we found that the poem is too difficult to understand, we must read through the poem in a slower rate. We must also make notes on the poem and make sure that our notes ate short but clear. If we give comment to the poem, we must give reasons that why we give the poem such comments. When answering the questions, we must first understand what the question is asking about, then we can start answering the questions. In the booklet, it has taught us that it has two techniques that help us to organize our answer, the first one is that it must have introduction, body and conclusion in each paragraph, the next one is that it must has point, explain elaborate, evidence example and link in each paragraph. There are some examples in the booklet for us to learn. For writing a good essay, we must first organize the essay. In the booklet, there is also a band descriptors for the unseen essay, to get a A, we must have a good analysis and evaluation of content and presentation and must be well focused on the question and addresses most of its key issues so to me it is quite difficult to get a grade A essay. A good essay must consist of introduction, body, evidence, elaboration, personal response and conclusion. I have learnt a lot through this booklet, and I have knew better about unseen poem, although it is quite difficult to understand the unseen poem but I found it is quite interesting.
