for Writing PEE (Point, Evidence, Explain)
PEE is an acronym: Point, Evidence, Explain.
This provides a framework for structuring essay paragraphs.
First, a statement is made. Next, evidence is given to back up this statement. Evidence could take the form of an example, a fact or a quotation from another text. Finally, the point is explained in more detail to convey the author’s thoughts, knowledge and understanding.
When teaching students to use PEE, three options you can call on are as follows:
a. Display posters showing the PEE method around the room or place hand-outs in students’ books.
b. Model an example of PEE based on the writing task you have set.
c. Encourage students to use the method check that they are doing
