In this resource, students apply their knowledge of text stages and phases by examining how authors adapt structure for different purposes and by using structured planning tools to organise their own writing.

This teacher resource includes:

• Analytical tasks that require students to examine complete texts and explain the choices in stages and phases that authors make
• Guided comparison activities where students analyse how different authors organise similar text types in different ways
• Three scaffolded planning and sheets that support students to plan and begin writing their own texts with clearly defined stages and purposeful phases.
• Sentence starters for level for provided at each stage of the writing process to reduce cognitive load

This resource supports students in consolidating and demonstrating their understanding of text structure by moving from recognition to intentional use. It strengthens students’ ability to organise ideas coherently, explain structural choices, and produce well structured texts for a range of purposes.
