Introduction
• Once you have focused in on exactly what you need
to answer... You need an introduction.
• Your introduction will begin with a sentence that
states the question as a statement.
• The sentence will also need to have the key words
included...
• You will then end your introduction by stating "this
essay will examine..." the key words in detail.
Introduction

Shakespeare effectively uses this speech to present ambition


through using many literary techniques. Ambition is presented
as destructive in Macbeth as it leads to his downfall. This essay
will examine how Shakespeare explores ambition in depth.
P.E.E Paragraphs
• Once you have written your introduction...

• You will need to apply the P.E.E method to structure


your paragraphs.
The P.E.E Method

This opens your paragraph. It is a short and snappy


introduction to the subject that you will discuss.
The P.E.E Method

You must support your point by referring back to the


text and quoting, to show it's not just your opinion.
The P.E.E Method

This is the section of your essay where you gain the most marks. You must
explain why the evidence is significant, how it affects the reader, what technique
is used and how this links back to the question - especially the key words.
Conclusion
• See your conclusion as similar to the introduction...
• The only difference is rather than introducing the
question as a statement and mentioning the key
words and what the essay will talk about - you
restate the question, its key words and state - you
have discussed these issues in your essay.
Conclusion

To conclude, Shakespeare has effectively used this speech to


present ambition through using many literary techniques.
Ambition has been presented as destructive in Macbeth as it
leads to his downfall. This essay has examined how
Shakespeare explored ambition in depth.
Conclusion

In conclusion, Priestley has effectively used the character of the


Inspector to suggest ways that society can be improved by using many
literary techniques. Society has been portrayed as in need of
improvement as there are social inequalities. This essay has examined
how Priestley uses the Inspector to suggest social change in depth.
