① Appreciation method?&? Concept learning
1) Training in appreciating modern poetry
- Since unfamiliar modern poetry works are often tested on the college entrance exam or mock exams, the ability to understand and analyze works seen for the first time is necessary.
- Learn the order and method of analyzing modern poetry through the activity problems presented in ‘How to Appreciate Modern Poetry.’
2) Learning core concepts of modern poetry
- The concept of modern poetry is the foundation for correct understanding of works and problem solving.

- Carefully study the concepts presented in 'Key Concepts of Modern Poetry' and check how they are applied to the problem.

② Studying the work
1) Appreciating the work and understanding its contents
- Poetry is written in concise language, making it difficult to grasp its meaning.
Appreciate the work while thinking about what the poet is trying to convey to the reader.
-? Infer the content and meaning of the poem by paying attention to the situation and atmosphere of the poem, the emotions and attitude of the poetic speaker, and repeated poetic words.
2) Organize the content according to the 'Poetry Appreciation Manual'
-? Analyze the work according to the format of the 'Poetry Appreciation Manual', which presents the order of analysis of the work according to the composition of the poem.
- Organize the content of the work in the order presented, such as ‘poetic speaker and poetic situation, speaker’s emotions and attitude, meaning of poetic language, expressive characteristics, and theme.’

③ Learning practical problems
1) Solve and grade problems as if taking a test.
- When solving a problem for the first time, solve the problem quickly and get graded as if you were taking a test.
- After grading, re-solve the problems you got wrong or the problems you got right but were confused about, and check the reasons why they are correct or incorrect through the ‘Answer and Explanation’.
2) Learn how to solve problems
- The 〈option〉 or choice attached to the problem may also provide a clue to solving other problems.
- ?In the process of solving a problem, you establish your own problem-solving method.

④ Use and review the 'Answers and Explanations'
1) Use of ‘Answers and Explanations’
- If you got the question wrong, look at the 'Answer and Explanation' to figure out why you got it wrong.
- Even if it is a correct question, check whether your solution was appropriate by referring to the ‘Answer and Explanation’.
2) Establish a review plan
- For problems that you got wrong even once or are still confusing even after looking at them again, study the content of the work again and then try solving the problem again.
- After organizing the types of mistakes you frequently make, focus on studying them so that you don't repeat the same mistakes.
