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 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 texts written to entertain, inform and persuade. They explore the purpose of each stage, explain how the stages contribute to meaning and clarity, and analyse whether a stage effectively supports the overall purpose of the text. Students then apply their understanding by adapting introductions, bodies and conclusions to better suit different text purposes.
