For PEE read here.
Some people say PEEL (the 'L' stands for 'link to the next paragraph').

Other mnemonics for writing paragraphs include:
  • SEXY (State was the paragraph is about (Topic sentence), Enlarge on this (Developing sentence), Xamples (Supporting sentences), You must finish with a concluding or linking sentence)
  • DARE (Develop a topic sentence, Add supporting ideas, Reject a counter-argument, End with a conclusing sentence).
  • The simplest is TSC (Topic sentence/ Supporting sentences/ Conclusing sentence)
  • There is one guy who teaches a Topic - Supporting - Limiting - Transitional sentences paragraph.

Visual mnemonics include the hamburger (beginning, meaty middle, end) and the giraffe (top, body, bottom).
This 'handy reminder' uses the fingers of your hand to remind you of the different parts of a paragraph.

Look here for ideas on how to revise.

Lol, I never thought a Teacher would say Sexy, ever!!


Also, if you wanted a higher grade.

Try these.

P- Point
E- Evidence
E-Explantation
L-Link (Like, finding ways how things can link together)

S-Sentance Structure
W-Word Choice
I-Imagery (I think)
P-Punctuation
E-Effect

So, Peel and Swipe.

Or, as we jokers of the pack say:

Pee and Wipe.

;D Have Fun ;D

P.S: Are you Year 9?
