The PEEL paragraph, explained

Most essay marking schemes reward the same paragraph shape, often taught as PEEL (Point, Evidence, Explanation, Link) or the similar PEE, PEAL and TEEL. Here is a real example taken apart:

Tap each part of this paragraph to see the job it does.

Banning phones in class would protect students’ ability to concentrate.In a 2015 study of English schools, Beland and Murphy found that test scores rose after schools banned phones, with the largest gains among lower-achieving students.This suggests the problem is not the occasional text but the constant pull of a device in reach, which interrupts the sustained focus that learning new material requires.If phones erode concentration this measurably, a classroom ban is a low-cost way to give every student a fairer chance to learn.

Point: The topic sentence. It makes one arguable claim that supports the thesis, so the reader knows what this paragraph proves.

How long should a paragraph be?

In academic essays, body paragraphs typically run 100–250 words, or five to eight sentences. If one runs much longer, it usually contains two points and should be split. If it is under about 80 words, it probably needs more explanation; try the paragraph expander.

Make it yours

Replace every bracketed placeholder with a real source you have read, rewrite sentences in your own voice, and add the citation in your required style with the citation generator.

Questions students ask

Can I submit the generated paragraph?

Check your course policy first. Most schools expect you to write submitted work yourself. Use the paragraph as a model of structure and fill in your own evidence and analysis.

Why does it leave [brackets]?

Because AI models can invent sources that do not exist. We ask the model to mark where evidence belongs so you add a real, citable source.

What is the difference between PEEL and TEEL?

They are the same idea. TEEL starts with a Topic sentence instead of a Point; both are followed by Evidence, Explanation and Link.
