PEEL Persuasive Writing Worksheet

Student writing with PEEL structure diagram

📚 Part 1: Understanding PEEL Structure

1. Read this exemplar PEEL paragraph about gaming age limits:

Point: There should be age limits on gaming devices to protect young children's development. Evidence: Research from the New Zealand Ministry of Health shows that children under 10 who use gaming devices for more than 2 hours daily have difficulty concentrating in school and sleeping properly. Explanation: This happens because excessive screen time affects brain development and disrupts natural sleep patterns, making it harder for children to learn and grow healthily. Link: Therefore, age restrictions would help ensure children develop properly before engaging with gaming technology.

2. Match each PEEL component to its purpose:

Point: _________________ your main argument

Evidence: _________________ facts, statistics, or examples

Explanation: _________________ why your evidence matters

Link: _________________ back to your main argument

3. Which sentence starter would work best for the Evidence part of PEEL?

"My main point is..."

"Research shows that..."

"This proves that..."

"In conclusion..."

✏️ Part 2: Planning Your PEEL Paragraph

Some people might argue that: _________________________________

However, this is wrong because: _________________________________
