----- Original Message ----- From: "Marlene" <marlenegay@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: What is the origin of the term "UNSEEN"? So literature may be called a "SEEN" text. Something students can study for. Texts that have been covered in class to be tested on later, here -using literary analysis concepts? How should students prepare for Unseen exams? Review the vocabulary? Go over the HOTS, viz., reading strategies? Just practice answering reading comprehension questions? Remember the old rewrites questions, cloze? I think they were easier to prepare for. You had to know your grammar. Now I think you'd better increase your world knowledge...
