By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify narrative, expository, and procedural texts by their key features (language, style, structure, and purpose).
Compare and contrast two related texts on the same topic, noting differences in their language, style, structure, purpose, and the ideas or information they present.
Explain, with reasons, which text type (narrative, expository, or procedural) is best suited to a particular purpose or audience.
Record their comparisons in organised notes (e.g., a Venn diagram or a table) and present their findings to the class.
Use appropriate comparative language (e.g., “while,” “whereas,” “in contrast,” “both texts,” “on the other hand”) when discussing the similarities and differences between texts.
