Teaching the Unseen in PRCS

Hi all, In Pasir Ris Crest Sec, we start the students off with the acronym: SPECS & SLIMS. (Subject Matter-Point of View-Characterisation-Style: Structure-Language-Imagery-Movement (Rhythm)-Symbolism). We also refer closely to 'Mining for Meaning', and get the students to attempt the questions in the book itself. Our teachers frequently employ the use of video clips & even songs to get the students interested in the unseen. One of the biggest challenge we face in PRCS is to instill the importance of the subject itself as quite a handful of the students feel 'forced' to take Literature (which is a compulsory subject, except for the Normal Technical and lower-end Normal Academic classes). -Shelia- (Pasir Ris Crest)
