Planning a Literature Course - A Sample 2000 Course
Most of the ideas here come from a seminar at the University of Melbourne run by VATE in June 1999. The ideas below are a sample of how a course might be constructed, following the parameters of the course, and pointing out how a text might lead to an outcome.
| OUTCOMES | Performance Text (III,i) | Views and Values (III,ii) | Review (III,iii) | Creative (IV,i) | Analyse a Review (IV,ii) | Close Analysis (IV, iii) |
| 1 Novel | TESS - THOMAS HARDY (B) | |||||
| 1 Play/Film | STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (A) | |||||
| 10 Poems | JENNIFER STRAUSS (a) (B) | |||||
| Short Stories | MINIMUM OF TWO - WINTON (A) | |||||
| Further Text 1 | THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST - WILDE (B) | |||||
| Further Text 2 | THOMAS HARDY - 10 POEMS (B) | |||||
| Personal Choice | Student Choice |
Numbering refers to the UNIT, then the OUTCOME number - EG, IV,ii is Unit Four, Outcome 2
A/B refers to the Part A list and the Part B list. Only Part B texts will be on the exam.
a refers to Australian text; two must be included in the course design.
