How do you structure an answer to a question?

Using PETAL, Point, Evidence, Technique, Analysis, Link and PEEL paragraphs (Point, Evidence, Explain and Link) you can create paragraphs to answer the given question, after assessing points within these in regard to the question. Also it is important to create a consistent argument toward the question for higher levels, by using PETAL and PEEL paragraphs against one another.
