📝 Part 1: Understanding PEEL Structure

1. What does each letter in PEEL stand for? Match each letter to its meaning:

P = ________________

E = ________________

L = ________________

Word bank: Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link

2. Read this example PEEL paragraph about animal testing. Label each sentence with P, E, E, or L:

_____ Animal testing for cosmetics should be banned immediately.

_____ In the film 'Save Ralph', we see how rabbits suffer painful eye tests for makeup products.

_____ This shows that animals experience unnecessary pain just so humans can have beauty products.

_____ Therefore, companies must find alternative testing methods to protect innocent animals.

3. Which part of PEEL is most important for making your argument convincing?

Point - because it states your opinion

Evidence - because it proves your point

Explanation - because it connects evidence to your point

All parts are equally important

✍️ Part 2: Planning Your PEEL Paragraph

Topic: Should animal testing be banned? Use evidence from 'Save Ralph' or your own knowledge.

4. Write your POINT (main argument):

Sentence starter: "Animal testing should/should not be banned because..."

5. Write your EVIDENCE (example, fact, or quote from 'Save Ralph'):

Sentence starter: "For example..." or "In the film 'Save Ralph'..." or "Research shows..."

6. Write your EXPLANATION (how does your evidence support your point?):

Sentence starter: "This shows that..." or "This proves..." or "This demonstrates..."

7. Write your LINK (connect back to the topic or lead to next idea):

Sentence starter: "Therefore..." or "As a result..." or "This is why..."

🎯 Part 3: Writing Your Complete PEEL Paragraph

8. Now combine your sentences from Part 2 into one complete paragraph:

9. Self-check: Tick the boxes when you've included each part:

My paragraph has a clear POINT

I included specific EVIDENCE

I wrote an EXPLANATION connecting my evidence to my point

I included a LINK sentence

My paragraph flows well and makes sense

10. Reflection: How will using PEEL structure help you in future writing?
