How to structure a paragraph using PEEL

When writing an essay, PEEL is a useful way to make sure you have included all the information you need to achieve top marks. 'P' stands for point. This should tell the reader what your paragraph is about. For example. 'Miss Havisham is presented as a heartbroken character''E' stands for evidence or example. To make your point stronger, you should include evidence to back it up. You can use sentence links like 'for example' or 'for instance' to introduce your evidence.'Miss Havisham is presented as a heartbroken character. For example, she is always wearing her rotting wedding dress.''E' stands for explain. Here, you should explain how the example you have used links back to your main point. This should be the longest part of your paragraph. 'Miss Havisham is presented as a heartbroken character. For example, she is always wearing her rotting wedding dress. This shows how devastated still is by being abandoned on her wedding day'.'L' stands for link. To close your paragraph, you should refer back to the question or the main point of your paragraph to tie your essay together. This is almost like a mini conclusion to your paragraph.
