Example PEEL Personal Reflection

Point: Make a point about your writing / your feelings about writing:

I don’t like writing essays, especially in exams.

Example: Provide a real-world example relating to your point

In English I find it frustrating to write responses to texts using formal language and structures, as I feel that this limits what I can say.

Elaboration: Add further details.

The elaboration can (and often should) be more than one sentence.

I have a lot of ideas, but I can’t write quickly enough to get them all down in exams or in-class assessment tasks, especially when I have to use an academic style. Running out of time is really frustrating

Link: Go back to the point. Be reflective.

While I don’t like writing essays, I know I should practice, and use any feedback I receive to improve my skills.
