Teachers Talk Texts
Each episode, host Clare Mackie discusses a different text from the VCE English text list with a passionate and knowledgeable teacher. The conversation is more than just a plot summary and character profile, rather, teachers discuss textual interpretation, authorial intent, views and values - the complex and deeply interesting aspects of studying literature.

Episode 10
Clare returns to a favourite text in this episode - Euripides 'The Women of Troy' with Danni (@teachingthevce). While this may be the third episode discussing the text, the direction of the conversation is completely different, beginning with the importance of the text in reflecting the full scope of the human experience - both joy and sadness - and then drilling down into some character studies. After all, who hasn't been a Helen at some point?
