Help your Year 7 students master text structure the way the Australian Curriculum asks for it. AC9E7LA03 asks students to identify and describe how texts are structured differently depending on their purpose and how language features vary in texts, and AC9E7LY04 asks them to explain the structure of ideas such as the use of taxonomies, cause and effect, extended metaphors and chronology. This complete unit takes students from the five common structures through mapping a text’s sections to explaining how the structure itself develops the author’s central idea.

This unit is built for Year 7, and is deliberately pitched a step above the Year 6 unit in the same series. Where younger students analyse how one paragraph or section fits the whole, students here learn to map the major sections of a text, explain what each contributes, and show how the overall structure develops the ideas. The unit makes that jump teachable through a clear progression: the five structures and their signal words, the Section Map, the removal test for section contribution, and connecting structure to meaning.

Every lesson follows a consistent arc: a clear learning target, direct instruction with modelled examples, guided and independent practice, and a recap. Three worksheets (six pages) progress students from vocabulary and structure identification, through section mapping and contribution analysis, to fully independent application with self-assessment. The unit closes with a solo exit ticket and a 4-point rubric for teacher assessment.

Includes a full lesson deck, three worksheets, an exit ticket, and a 4-point rubric. All passages are original - not recycled public-domain filler.
