3 Lessons - PEE Paragraphs and Inference Skills

PEE & Inference Mini Scheme of Work

Develop students’ analytical reading and writing skills with this 3-lesson mini Scheme of Work focusing on PEE (Point, Evidence, Explanation) paragraph writing and making accurate inferences. Designed for KS3 English, this ready-to-teach unit builds students’ confidence in using evidence to support their ideas before applying these skills to independent writing tasks.

Students begin by learning how to structure analytical paragraphs using PEE before developing inference skills through engaging image and text-based activities. They then apply their knowledge to extracts from Oliver Twist and a comparison task on the Bubonic and Pneumonic Plague, reinforcing comprehension, comparison, and analytical writing.

• Complete 3-lesson mini Scheme of Work
