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.Our Teach Yourself Video Series are an exciting new product which is in video format.
-
Rather than just summarising the key ideas of each text into notes (which we have also done), we have gone two steps 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 and A1 size for Text List 2 while the Teach Yourself Video Series are 120 to 180 minute video tutorials, thoroughly teaching, reviewing and explaining each text.
Exclusive benefits of our Text Study Maps include:
-
Accelerate and improve their learning.

-
Mirror brain functionality.

Enhance their creativity and focus.
-

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.

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.
