BBE Literature sets are developed by experienced VCAA assessors.
They follow the format for questions shown in the 2024 sample examination paper. We provide page references and the opening and concluding sentences for the passages for close analysis, using the edition specified in the VCAA Literature Text List.
Teachers will need to source the passages to insert into the exam paper. Each set includes the task instructions and examination criteria, as they appear in the VCE Literature exam.

✍️New blog✍️
This blog is written in prospect about the new Section B and the opportunities it offers for personal writing in the VCE English exam. It is argued that for most students that personal narrative rather than fictional narrative or expository/argumentative writing is the best approach to take in the English exam.

📣 NEW Blog 📣
Written in response to the VATE survey of views about the new Creating texts area of study for VCE English, this blog discusses requirements for and methods of within school moderation of English assessments. It outlines the choices about moderation processes available to schools, discusses how and why some approaches are more arduous than others, and argues for the usefulness of quantitative and well as qualitative kinds of monitoring of school assessments.

For VCE English Language
Jamie Oliver and his publishers have caused deep offence to First Nations Australians because they did not consult with Indigenous groups about Oliver's children's story Billy and the Epic Escape, which has an Australian sublot. Oliver and Random House are accused of contributing to the “erasure, trivialisation, and stereotyping of First Nations peoples and experiences”. This article conveys the strength of the condemnation.

Exclusive: Publisher takes responsibility for the failure to consult Indigenous groups, who say the fantasy novel trivialises complex and painful histories
