PEEEL/TEEEL Paragraph

Structure - Statements
The PEEEL/TEEEL acronym can be a great way to remember the key ingredients for
a successful paragraph. You can think of it like a recipe that helps you produce an
effective paragraph.
Detailed paragraphs should follow the structure outlined below.

Point/Topic Sentence - A statement that addresses the question and offers a


clear argument for your paragraph.
Think of this like a signpost, offering directions to your reader. In order to be
effective, your opening sentence must be clear, concise and relevant to the
question.

Explain - A sentence (or two) that delve(s) deeper into your point, either by
offering further explanation or by indicating where in the text you will look for
evidence.
This is your opportunity to build a bridge between your point and your evidence.
This may involve explaining your idea further or building context for your
supporting example.

Example/Evidence - An example from the text and/or language feature that


helps to support the point you are making.
Here you must ensure you have an example that is obvious in its connection to
your discussion. Try to lead into it as naturally as you can so that the paragraph
flows easily.

Effect - A detailed discussion of WHAT the evidence shows and HOW it shows
that. This is also called analysis.
Make sure that you do not let the evidence ‘speak for itself’. You need to address
what the example means and why that matters.

Link - A statement summarising how the evidence connects to the point OR


exploring the bigger picture by addressing why the discussion/argument matters.
Work on making your link sound decisive and interesting by trying to use new
terminology for the concepts you have discussed.
