English Comparative Text Resources - Teachers
Our English Comparative Resources have been prepared by experienced senior VCE English teachers who have studied and taught these texts for many years.
-
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 A1 size concept map poster.
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.
-
Incorporate colours, images and key ideas.
-
Target exam related topics.
-
Connect important concepts.
-
Be provided with a revolutionary new method of learning.
Text Summary Notes and Study Maps are issued with copyright protection and therefore cannot be reproduced in any format and schools are NOT permitted to upload these resources on the school intranet.
Exclusive benefits of our Teach Yourself Video Series include:
-
each topic's video tutorial is an engaging detailed consolidation of the text prepared and presented by an experienced VCE teacher who is a VCAA assessor
-
each topic's video tutorial is a clear, concise and detailed explanation delving into the key examinable aspects of the text, ensuring that students are able to gain an enhanced understanding of the topic throughout the year.
-
periodically released when the study design for each subject changes, ensuring that all changes are reflected
-
one School License per Subject! – The TYS-VS is offered on a license basis to the purchasing school, expiring at the end of the current study design for each subject. Only one license is needed per subject per school for all students attending the school and for the entire length of the study design! Access to the TYS-VS beyond the current study design will require another purchase of the resource by the school.
*The Text Summary Notes and Study Maps are delivered within 5 working days upon release on February 7, 2022.
