MOLE shows that we have an End of Term Exam of AES on Week 9, is that relevant to us?

To my knowledge there is no End of Term test. There is only a Formative Speaking Assessment in Week 9 which won't count towards your final mark for the course.

Discuss: write about the topic in neutral and balanced terms -this may include including for/against, positives/negative points - your personal opinion is not important or featured in the writing.

Argue: write about the topic in order to persuade the reader of something:  this is the opposite of a neutral and balanced essay -your opinion should be obvious although it's not always necessary to state it.

Are topic sentences and points the same thing?

Good question. Within the structure of PEE, P stands for the point.

This point can be defined as the sentence that states the topic/ tells the reader what the topic of the paragraph relates to and states what the writer wants to say about the topic.

When I was doing the writing, I felt confused about whether there should be two P-E-E models in a paragraph or not. Can I just use one P-E-E model in a paragraph?

You need to write 2 PEE paragraphs. Therefore you should have 1 PEE/ 1 Paragraph

1) This is gives you more practice at this skill
2) Direct quotes can often look quite messy and too many in an academic texts often is hard on the readers eyes. Therefore it is best to acquire the habit of paraphrasing when at all possible.

For the current writing assessment 2AB (PEE paragraph) and 2E (short essay) use only the sources provided unless stated on the PowerPoint.  This is a way for the course to standardise the submissions. For assessment 2E this means that we can accurately assess your ability to cite, paraphrase and use PEE, rather than your skills at searching for sources.
