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 identify and analyse the structure of different text types with this comprehensive teaching bundle, designed to explicitly teach how authors organise ideas into an introduction, body and conclusion to achieve a clear purpose. Combining a detailed lesson plan, comprehensive teacher slides and differentiated student activities, this curriculum-aligned resource provides everything you need to confidently teach text structure 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 three stages of a text work together to organise ideas, strengthen meaning and support the reader's understanding across a range of text types.

Through close examination of model texts, collaborative discussion and structured learning experiences, students identify the introduction, body and conclusion in narrative, informative and persuasive texts. They explore the purpose of each stage, compare how different text types use these stages to achieve their purpose, and explain how effective text organisation helps communicate ideas clearly.
