Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The PEEL technique can help you write body paragraphs, where P stands for point, E stands for elaboration, the next E stands for example or evidence, and L stands for link.
- •
The point of your body paragraph should be stated in your topic sentence.
- •
When using the PEEL technique, the point and link stay in the same place, but the elaboration and evidence sections are interchangeable.
