P.E.E and Use of Quotations



We can have many ideas but if we don't write them in the correct way, they wont be understand by the reader. That is what PEE is for, PEE stands for Point, Evidence and Explanation. PEE is a very effective way to answer a question.

Point: This is the first step for the PEE structure. This step is based on stating your main idea for the topic or for our answer to the question.

Evidence: In this part we support, or proof out point or ideas. This is quoting to give some evidence of your point being right.

Explanation: As a final step we must explain with our own words our idea or point. Why are we answering this and why do we believe this.

Quoting is a essential part for your evidence. When quoting remember that if the quote is short, you can put it in the same sentence as your text, if it is a long quote it has to be on a line of its own.
After quoting there are certain phrases that are helpful when you explain it, such as: this implies, this suggests, which gives the impression that, possibly, perhaps, this indicates that, this shows, obviously, etc.
Connectives are also useful to help move on your argument, such as: however, therefore, in contrast, because, but, and, furthermore, also, then, later, etc.
