In teaching the Unseen Prose, I teach the various Literary Elements like, Setting, Mood & Atmosphere, Style, Tension & Suspense etc to the students. Many times, I try to infuse the teaching with visual texts (images or videos) to help students to better understand the various elements.
After I explicitly teach, there students will be given either individual tasks or group tasks where they need to apply what they have just learnt. This way, I get to see whether students have learnt - are they still unclear about certain elements (do they know how to identify them from the texts).
Students will usually discuss/present their answers in class - the other groups are often encouraged to ask questions and not take the answers as it is but to ask if what they say are valid.
This way, it forces the students to think deeper and not be superficial in their answers.
