Allow students to learn how to write a clear and structured PEEL paragraph for essays or analytical writing.
PEEL stands for Point, Evidence, Explanation, and Link.

The PEEL paragraph method is a writing technique designed to help structure ideas clearly and persuasively in academic or analytical writing. It is especially useful for essay writing, particularly when developing body paragraphs that support a thesis or central argument.

PEEL stands for:

Point: Start with a clear topic sentence that states the main idea or argument of the paragraph. This should directly relate to the essay question or thesis statement.

Evidence: Provide specific evidence to support your point. This can be a quote, statistic, example, or reference from a text or source material.

Explanation: Analyze the evidence by explaining how it supports your point. Discuss the significance, meaning, and any implications of the evidence you have provided.

Link: Conclude the paragraph by linking back to the main argument or transitioning smoothly to the next paragraph. This helps maintain cohesion in your writing.

Ensures arguments are supported and developed fully.
Helps writers stay focused on their thesis or main idea.
Useful in subjects like English, History, Social Studies, and more.
