PEE Essay Structure
In every paragraph, remember to PEE.
P is for Point: The Point is simply what each paragraph is about- you make a main point in every paragraph you write. This is usually the TOPIC SENTENCE you use.
E is for Evidence: The Evidence is the quotation or description of the scene, shot or technique you are using to back up your point.
E is also for Evaluation: This is the chance for you to explain how the quotation backs up the point you are making, i.e. the 3 steps of analysis. You then need to evaluate it – comment on how successful it is.
