English Study MapsOur Study Maps are an exciting new product for VCE English produced only by TSSM. Rather than just summarising the key ideas of each text into notes (which we have also done), we have gone one step further to create a learning aid for more visual learners. The Study Maps are an A2 size concept map written by VCE English teachers consisting of VCE assessors, state reviewers and published VCE authors.
With our study maps students will:
- Accelerate and improve their learning.
- Improve their recall of facts by up to 500%.
- Mirror brain functionality.
- Enhance their creativity and focus.
- Incorporate colours, images and key ideas.
- Target exam related topics.
- Connect important concepts.
- Be provided with a revolutionary new method of learning.
In order for students and teachers to be able to use our study maps most effectively we have created two e-Books that can be downloaded:
Please note that you will need Adobe Reader to download this these e-Books.
