Point

We’ve studied the panels, we’ve made our notes. Now we’re going to write the opening of our PEEL paragraph.

In PEEL, we open with a Point.

Here’s the snippet from the beginning of this lesson.

The snippet states simply and succinctly the point I want to make.

Here’s an example based on the raptor chasing scene.

How does Ghostopolis show a horse evading two velociraptors?

 

When Garth’s horse evades two velociraptors in the wilderness outside Ghostopolis, the author uses the horse’s position and direction in panel to help us follow the course of action.

Now you write an opening point that you want to make about about how Ghostopolis shows two velociraptors failing to catch a horse.

(Paste in this question as a heading: How does Ghostopolis show two velociraptors failing to catch a horse?)
