PEEL Graphic Organizers

Excellence in Education: PEEL Graphic Organizers
In all classes students should analyze and support their analysis with facts and reasoning. The PEEL strategy is a graphic organizer that can be used by itself, as a pre-writing strategy (especially DBQs and other shorter, social studies essays), in preparation for a class discussion/Socratic Seminar,  and more. Simply, it’s a great way to get students started because it helps them determine a main idea and how to find supporting details.

What is PEEL?
PEEL stands for Point-Evidence-Explanation-Link

Point: provide an opening statement for your argument
Evidence: provide evidence (this can be direct quotes, facts, etc.)
Explanation: explain the evidence through purpose and context
Link: a statement that links back to the main point

Here’s a link to a PEEL Graphic Organizer.

Just a Thought: Rubric Design
Most rubrics are scored on a 1-4 scale with 2 of the scores being below mastery. Why should we accept less than the student’s best and failure to show proficiency?

  1. Creating graphic organizers with powerpoint is ok as long as the graphic is structures. For complex and creative ones you will have to use several tools. "Creately" is an online diagramming and collaboration software which supports all graphic organizer charts. Creately studied the importance of these graphic organizers, and designed a number of easy to use graphic organizer templates. They are free to be used and try.
