Writing a Literary Analysis using the PEEL acronym- based on "Because I Could Not Stop For Death"

This 15 page workbook introduces students to the use of PEEL (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) to write a detailed Literature Essay.

Using Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop For Death” students first annotate and then complete a series of topic statements to create PEEL paragraphs in a scaffolded poetry analysis essay.

Students then cut out and unscramble the completed paragraphs to create a coherent essay, adding in additional information where necessary and writing their own conclusion.

The resource includes an additional poster-making activity and template and a suggestion on other ways that PEEL can be implemented in self- assessment activities, as well as a choice of **5 bright PEEL posters **which teachers can print for classroom display.
