    Study Notes

    INS Midterm Perfect PEAL Response

    • Understand the question: identify command terms (explain, analyze, discuss) and key themes.
    • Start with a focused topic sentence: clearly state your argument and direction.

    Follow the PEAL structure

    • P (Point): Make a clear statement directly answering part of the question, focusing on one main idea.
    • E (Evidence): Provide 2-3 pieces of related evidence from sources/readings, using proper citations.
    • A (Analysis): Explain how evidence supports your point, connecting to broader themes, and demonstrating understanding.
    • L (Link): Connect back to the question.

    Example PEAL Paragraph

    • Resource scarcity and extreme weather events cause migration, putting pressure on host countries.
    • Rising sea levels in Bangladesh displace millions, forcing migration to urban areas or neighboring countries. Droughts in Syria similarly force rural-urban migration, increasing tensions.
    • This shows how climate-induced migration stresses receiving areas, leading to overcrowding, competition for resources, and political instability. For example, Bangladeshi migrants in India create tensions over jobs and resources.
    • This highlights how resource scarcity can escalate into broader security risks.

    Key Tips for PEAL Responses

    • Use transitional phrases (e.g., "This demonstrates that...", "For example...", "This highlights the need for...", "Therefore, it can be concluded that...").
    • Ensure all evidence supports the main argument.
    • Maintain focus on the original question.
    • Proofread for clarity and coherence.
