Text structure and organisation Understand that the purposes texts serve shape their structure in predictable ways (ACELA1477) © Australian Curriculum: Assessment and Reporting Authority 2012 Related terms Texts Written, spoken or multimodal forms of communication for a range of purposes. Text structure The manner in which information is organised within different text types; e.g. title, introductory paragraph, sequencing of events or steps, concluding paragraph. Imaginative texts Texts whose main purpose is to entertain. They may be in the form of traditional stories, poetry, plays, novels, picture books or fi lms, for example. Informative texts Texts whose main purpose is to provide information. They may be in the form of a procedure, report or explanation, for example. Persuasive texts Texts whose main purpose is to present a point of view and persuade a reader/listener/viewer. They may be in the form of an advertisement, argument or debate, for example. ? T E What this means Teacher information • Students should understand that a text is written for a specifi c purpose; e.g. to give information, to entertain, to give instructions. • Students should understand that a text type is structured in a specifi c way to help serve the purpose for which it is written. For example, a recount tells about something that happened. It has an introduction to set the scene, followed by a description of the events that occurred in chronological order. A procedure such as a recipe has a list of ingredients, followed by a series of numbered steps that explain how to make the recipe. Teaching points • Students should become familiar with the text structures of different imaginative, informative and persuasive text types including narratives, recounts, reports, procedures, explanations and expositions. • Give students the opportunity to discuss and compare different types of familiar texts and identify the purpose of each text. Students need to consider why a text was written. What is its purpose? How do the reader and writer benefi t/learn from the text? • Understanding the structure of a particular text type will improve a student’s comprehension of a text of that type. • Opportunities to read, discuss and analyse a number of examples of a particular text type is a prerequisite for success in writing them.
