Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Teach students to confidently analyse and adapt text stages and phases with this comprehensive teaching bundle, designed to explicitly teach how authors organise and shape texts to better entertain, inform and persuade. Combining a detailed lesson plan, comprehensive teacher slides and differentiated student activities, this curriculum-aligned resource provides everything you need to teach purposeful text organisation while lightening your planning load.

Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, this lesson sequence provides a scaffolded pathway from explicit teacher modelling to guided analysis and independent application. Students investigate how the introduction, body and conclusion remain consistent across texts, while the phases within each stage can be deliberately adapted to strengthen meaning, engage the audience and better achieve a text's purpose.

Through close examination of model texts, collaborative discussion and structured learning experiences, students identify and analyse the stages and phases of texts written to entertain, inform and persuade. They evaluate how authors organise ideas, compare structural choices across text types and adapt text stages and phases to improve clarity, purpose and effectiveness.
