Teach students to identify and analyse the structure of different text types with this comprehensive teacher slide deck, designed to explicitly teach how authors organise ideas into an introduction, body and conclusion to achieve a clear purpose.

These teacher slides can be used independently. Note: Where the teacher slides reference printable independent activities, these are available in the full lesson bundle here.

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 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.
