Literature Text Resources
Our Literature Text Resources have been prepared by experienced senior VCE Literature teachers who have studied and taught these texts for many years.
-
Our Text Summary Notes delve into the heart of the text by detailing the key areas of the text. Our Text Study Maps are an exciting new product for VCE Literature 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 Text Study Maps are an A2 size concept map poster for Text List 1.
Exclusive benefits of our Text Study Maps include:
-
Accelerate and improve their learning.
-
Improve their recall of facts by up to 500%.
-
Mirror brain functionality.
-
Enhance their creativity and focus.
-
