Paragraph organization

Paragraph Organization — Topic, Evidence, Analysis, Transition

Practice writing tight body paragraphs that actually argue — TEAR, PEEL, and TEEL frameworks scaffolded so students stop writing one giant block.

TEAR: Topic, Evidence, Analysis, Reasoning

Practice the TEAR structure for analytical body paragraphs — with prompts that catch missing analysis or unsupported claims.

  • Topic sentence focus
  • Evidence specificity
  • Analysis depth
  • Reasoning warrant

PEEL & TEEL

Point, Evidence, Explain, Link — and its TEEL variant. WriterSpark supports both and shows which framework matches each prompt type.

  • PEEL paragraph builder
  • TEEL paragraph builder
  • Link sentence coaching

From outline to paragraph

Build a paragraph outline first, then expand each move into sentences with live feedback — instead of writing then discovering the structure is broken.

  • Outline mode
  • Sentence-level expansion
  • Cohesion check

Common questions

Which paragraph structure should my students use?

TEAR works well for analytical / argumentative writing. PEEL is great for literary analysis. WriterSpark supports both.
