Literature for Senior Students 6th Edition – 2023 Study Design
by Robert Beardwood

The 6th edition of Literature for Senior Students has been updated for the revised VCE Literature Study Design, to be implemented in 2023. It combines a practical approach to various writing tasks, including step-by-step processes, preparation strategies and numerous activities, with a reference section explaining essential metalanguage and literary concepts.

The 6th edition contains updated text examples and sample responses, as well as new chapters on genre, Indigenous literature and the development of different interpretations of a text.

The book features:

• A comprehensive reference section, including definitions of key literary terms and techniques; an overview of literary theory; and a glossary and historical time line for quick reference
• Sample responses for all assessment tasks in Units 3 and 4, using texts on the 2023 VCE Literature Text List
• Guidelines, activities and models for a range of text responses, including close analysis of one or more passages, an analysis of a text and its transformation or adaptation into a different form, a creative response, and an interpretation that responds to a supplementary reading of the text.
