A PEE Paragraph Writing Mat for KS3/KS4/KS5 students. The Writing Mat allows students to formulate PEE paragraphs while including analytical verbs and adverbs to complement their points and analysis. This mat has been used effectively across a school, not only for English but for other subjects including RE, History and Pastoral lessons. Students derive benefit in securing a consistent PEE paragraph format which they are able to use in any formative or summative assessment.
Includes:
Sentence Starters for ‘Points’
Sentence Starters for ‘Evidence’
Sentence Starters for ‘Analysis’
Analytical Verbs
Analytical Adverbs
Discourse Markers for Extension Tasks
Used for both Key Stages 3 and 4 in English Language. Designed to be printed double sided (PEE on one side, connectives on reverse, same with writing and vocabulary) for students to use during assessment/guided writing. I have them printed in colour on card and laminated for my classroom and it’s a great resource - just grab them if you need, or distribute to individuals who are struggling.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Clear and minimal Point, Evidence, Explain poster.
Created for guided reading when answering inference and deduction questions.
Also useful for English lessons.
Poster and editable resource included.
Useful guide to demonstrate some methods of paragraph structure and general tips to improve writing. I have used this from Year 6 through to GCSE. The menu idea makes it very easy to follow. I print these out and give them to students like a menu during extending writing. I have also blown these up to A3 for display. Comments are appreciated. Images are taken from Microsoft Office Clip-Art collections and used in line with MS policy.
This is a resource for teachers of KS3 who need a bit of extra help getting pupils to write PEE paragraphs at this level. It deals with the elements of a good PEE paragraph, breaking down what a point is, looking at how to select appropriate evidence and finally how to explore and analyse the quote in detail.
It is based on the novel Wonder by RJ Palacio, but could be adapted to suit another text as necessary.
I have used this format with my KS3 classes and the results have been fantastic!
