VCE Literature text list

Principals/directors, VCE coordinators and VCE Literature teachers

The VCE Literature text list specifies that approximately 75 per cent of texts should be familiar to most VCE Literature teachers (see under ‘Guidelines for text selection’). We have now added a definition of the term ‘familiar’.

Familiar texts can include canonical texts, texts that have been acknowledged in the public domain as significant through mechanisms like awards or accolades, texts of literary merit that have been adapted into film or other forms, and texts of literary merit that have been reviewed across national and international publications.

Action

Principals/directors, please share this information with the relevant staff.
