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 supported application. Students investigate how the introduction, body and conclusion remain consistent across texts, while the phases within each stage can be 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 the stages and phases of texts written to entertain, inform and persuade. 

What's included in this lesson sequence?

• Clear learning intentions and success criteria focused on analysing and adapting text stages and phases
• Explicit teaching of how introductions, bodies and conclusions can be organised differently depending on purpose
• Modelled examples demonstrating how authors adapt phases within each stage to entertain, inform or persuade
• Guided analysis tasks identifying effective and ineffective text stages and phases
• Structured practice adapting stages and phases to better suit a text's purpose and audience
• Supported opportunities for students to explain how text organisation contributes to meaning, clarity and effectiveness
• Built-in check-ins for learning to monitor understanding throughout the lesson
• A reflective exit ticket to inform next-step teaching and differentiation

Perfect for upper primary classrooms, this lesson sequence develops students' understanding that effective writing is more than following a fixed structure. By learning how to adapt both the stages and phases of a text, students build the confidence to analyse author choices and create purposeful, well-organised writing across a range of text types.
