P-E-E Structure



The PEE is a form of expressing ideas in an organized and structured way, using quotations. It consists in the Point(P), the Evidence(E) and the Explanation(E).

Point----- > Is the idea you want to express. This shall be summarized and precise.

Evidence---- > This is where you put the quote as an evidence for your point (idea). You should use quotation marks.

Explanation---- > This is where you explain de quote and contrast it to your point.



Here´s an Example for making everything clearer:
 
Point: Stanley was childish and innocent

Evidence: “Had tried to pretend that he was just going away to camp(…) Camp fun and Games he called it”.

Explanation: The author uses the word “pretend” to explain that this person creates his one reality. Alsou uses the idea of “Camp Fun”, transforming the work camp into this funny place where he would make a lot of friends.
