You need to cover different text types with your class – narratives, information texts, and procedures to name a few. Wouldn’t it be great to cover some informal texts too – blog posts, emails, maybe even a debate? Oh, but how will you hold your students’ attention as you throw text after text at them? Also, where are you meant to find the perfect, age-appropriate examples without scouring through the Internet for hours and hours?

Well, we encountered this hurdle ourselves too, so don’t worry, we’ve done the work for you. 

This exciting lesson empowers your students to become text type detectives. They will uncover the secrets of text structures, vocabulary, language features and the purpose of each text. Our lesson plan walks you through exactly how to implement the Jigsaw Method - the perfect way for your students to read and dissect one text, whilst learning from their peers about other texts. Best of all? You don’t have to hunt for different texts. We have written them all for you – the 6 texts are all age appropriate, encompass a mix of formal and informal styles, and revolve around a single theme (Space), showcasing how one topic can be expressed in diverse ways.

  • Prompt Card to ignite student curiosity.
