PEE Paragraphs Starter: Put this PEE into order: ‘The red sauce trickled down from is lips, down over his chin on to his black jacket.’ This shows that he eats in a disgusting way and gets food all over himself. It could be because he is in a rush to get food as he hasn’t eaten for a long time, or perhaps he is not used to other people watching him.Skellig has no table manners and is a messy eater.

  2. ‘The red sauce trickled down from is lips, down over his chin on to his black jacket’ Point Skellig has no table manners and is a messy eater. ‘The red sauce trickled down from is lips, down over his chin on to his black jacket.’ (Page 27) This shows that he eats in a disgusting way and gets food all over himself. It could be because he is in a rush to get food as he hasn’t eaten for a long time, or perhaps he is not used to other people watching him eat. Evidence Explanation

  3. Introduction: Using Point, Evidence, and Explanation (PEE) • When you are writing about a text or discussing a text it is very important that you use quotes to back up what you are saying. • Using PEE is a way of writing about a text making sure that you include textual evidence.

  4. Why use PEE? • Reading is assessed by looking at 5 aspects of a piece of writing. These are: • Understand and select information and use of evidence • Interpret evidence • Text structure and organisation • Writer’s use of language • Writer’s purpose and effect

  5. So… • PEE gives you a structured way of covering these assessment foci. • Using PEE will help you get a better level in reading. • It proves you understand and can write about what you have read.

  6. Identify the point, evidence and explanation. Look at the paragraph below and decide what is the Point, Evidence and Explanation. When you’re done, write this out and label it in your books: ‘I tried not to breathe, not to smell him.’ Even though Michael is helping Skellig, he doesn’t want to smell the horrible smell coming from him. Michael thinks that Skellig smells awful.

  7. Identify the point, evidence and explanation. (Point)Michael thinks that Skellig smells awful.(Evidence) ‘I tried not to breathe, not to smell him.’ (Explanation) Even though Michael is helping Skellig he doesn’t want to smell the horrible smell coming from him.

  8. Copy the following down to help you use Point / Evidence / Explanation (PEE) • Point – What does the quote show in very simple terms? • Evidence – This is a ‘quote’ taken from the text to prove or support what it is that you are saying. • Explanation – This is where you give a more detailed explanation of the point. It is good to include your own personal opinion here.

  9. Holes • There are some great descriptions of people in the book Holes which tell us something about the characters the writer’s describing. • Mr Sir: ‘A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley entered, but otherwise didn’t move.’ • What do you think this quote tells us about Mr Sir?

  10. ‘A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley entered, but otherwise didn’t move.’ Mr Sir

  11. Now it’s your turn • Write a PEE paragraph about Mr Sir, based on the quote we have been looking at. • You don’t have to use all the quote, just the bit which is important to the point you’re making. • Is he lazy, frightening, important, uncaring?

  12. ‘A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley entered, but otherwise didn’t move.’ • P: Mr Sir is presented as a _________ character. • E: In the 4th chapter it says: ‘(your evidence from the extract)’ • E: This tells me that __________ • Remember not to repeat your point in your explanation.
