Understanding PEEL Paragraphs in Education
PDF Download
PEEL stands for Point, Evidence, Explanation, and Link. It is a writing strategy or structure used to help students construct well-organized and coherent paragraphs in their written work, such as essays or reports.
Contextual Examples:
Point: The first sentence introduces the main idea or argument of the paragraph.
Evidence: This is where students provide specific examples, quotes, statistics, or other evidence to support their point.
Explanation: Students explain how the evidence theyâve provided supports their point and further develops their argument.
Link: The final sentence of the paragraph links back to the main point, summarises the evidence and explanation provided, and connects it to the overall argument.
Example: Question: Discuss the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. PEEL Paragraph:
Point: Climate change is causing rising sea temperatures, leading to coral bleaching and loss of biodiversity in marine ecosystems.
Evidence: According to a study by the Marine Conservation Society, coral bleaching events have doubled in the past decade due to increased sea temperatures.
Explanation: As coral reefs die off, marine biodiversity decreases, impacting the entire ecosystem and disrupting the balance of marine life.
Link: This highlights the urgent need for global action to mitigate the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems.
Research-backed Strategies:
Provide explicit instruction on each component of the PEEL structure.
Model examples of well-constructed PEEL paragraphs for students to analyse.
Scaffold the writing process by giving students sentence starters for each part of the PEEL structure.
Offer regular opportunities for students to practise writing using the PEEL format across various subjects.
Additional Insights:
Encourage students to vary the types of evidence they use in their paragraphs to strengthen their arguments.
Remind students to stay focused on the main point and ensure that their evidence directly supports their argument.
Peer assessment and self-reflection can be valuable tools for students to evaluate their own use of the PEEL structure and improve their writing skills.
Emphasize the importance of coherence and logical progression within paragraphs to enhance the overall clarity and impact of studentsâ written work.
