This article aims to present the result of research developed as a master dissertation, focusing on the organization of the gender "school composition" under the scope of the systemic-functional grammar Halliday (1985). The material is composed of 44 texts of high school students divided into two groups: The first group with larger average than 6,0, and the second with same average or smaller than 6,0. The message structure (theme and rheme) and its modus operandi in the text supporting the processes of meaning from the patterns of thematic development were analysed. The results show that there is no difference between the types of topics chosen in both groups, but the thematic elements and method of development differ. With regard to development patterns in the texts of the first group, the highest incidence was the zig-zag pattern, and in the second group, the reiterated theme.
