Revision Task 3

Build A Grade 9 Paragraph The Right Way

A strong paragraph is not just about good ideas, it is about putting them in the right order.

Use Lightup's 'PETAETACW' (Point, Evidence, Technique, Analysis, Evidence, Technique, Analysis, Context, and Why) structure to rebuild real paragraph chunks the way examiners want to read them. This task helps you spot the structural elements.

6 quick rounds. Takes about 3 minutes.

How to spot each part:
Point = the main idea
Evidence = the quote or example
Technique = the method used (like a verb, adjective, simile or repetition)
Analysis = what that method suggests or makes us think
Context = the bigger situation, audience or purpose around it
Why = the writer’s bigger message or reason for doing it
