Gifted and Talented Teacher creates high-quality teaching resources and printable teacher resources designed to support calm, organised, and engaging learning environments. From curriculum-aligned teaching tools to functional classroom decor, our resources are classroom-ready and designed to save teachers time.

Introduce text structures with clarity and confidence using this comprehensive 28 slide teaching sequence designed to help students understand how texts are organised into stages and phases across the curriculum.

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

This curriculum-aligned slide deck explicitly teaches how different text types are structured depending on their purpose, and how authors deliberately adapt stages, phases, and language features to communicate effectively. Structured around the Gradual Release of Responsibility model, the lesson moves from teacher modelling, to guided practice, and finally to independent application.

Students explore how texts are organised through worked examples, choral reading opportunities, and whole-text analysis. They examine how structure supports meaning, and how authors make intentional choices to suit audience and purpose.

Built-in check-ins for learning allow teachers to gauge understanding throughout the lesson, while the reflective exit ticket supports targeted follow-up and differentiation.

This teacher resource includes:

• Clear learning intentions and success criteria
• Explicit explanations of text stages and phases across different text types
• Modelled examples analysing how texts are organised for purpose
• Opportunities for whole-text and sentence-level analysis
• Guided practice tasks with scaffolded support
• Independent application activities
  
• Mid-lesson check-ins for formative assessment
  

Perfect for upper primary classrooms, this slide deck supports students to recognise, analyse, and apply text structures across the curriculum — building stronger comprehension and more purposeful, well-structured writing aligned to AC9E6LA03.
