Setting this text as part of a high stakes, centrally examined curriculum invites a new examination of kinds of literacy and its demands on teachers, students and examiners.
Choosing texts for study
The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) provides a list of approved texts for study as part of English and English as an Additional Language. The text list includes a selection of texts in a range of categories – novels, short stories, poetry or songs, plays, non fiction texts and, from 2014, ‘multimodal’ formerly the ‘film’ category.
