Built around the I Do, We Do, You Do model, this lesson sequence provides a clear, scaffolded pathway from explicit teacher modelling to guided analysis and supported application. Students investigate how each stage contributes to the overall purpose, meaning and clarity of a text, developing the knowledge and confidence needed to analyse and construct well-organised writing.

Through worked examples, collaborative discussion and structured practice, students learn to identify text stages, explain their purpose and recognise how authors organise ideas to effectively communicate with their audience. Regular check-ins for learning and a reflective exit ticket provide valuable formative assessment opportunities to guide future teaching and differentiation.
