Gives learners examples of sentence starters and appropriate language to use for each part of the paragraph or essay. For example, how to introduce evidence or an explanation. There are also suggestions for introduction and conclusion language. It helps learners to add structure to thier longer pieces of writing. Useful for English as second language learners and can support less confident writers. It fits on one slide so is easy to display. In my context, it is useful in History and Geography but could be used in any subject requiring more detailed written responses.

Adapted from the Point Evidence Explanation mobile idea from teachit, a structured introduction to using PEE using The Specked Band . Instructions / lesson plan on using PEE and making PEE mobiles. A series of examples modelled and 2 templates for class to create own PEE chains. Also including short extracts of text about Dr Roylott leading to an assessed piece of writing using PEE. Thanks teachit for giving me the idea! These have helped enormously with a lower ability year 8 class, hope they will benefit others.
