Technique

Effect

But in all honesty this was just a guide. Sometimes it's better to mix it up a bit for a more effective sentence structure and better flow. Use your best judgement.

Yeah same, I was taught to use PEEL but then the teachers started saying to use the IEQTEL or CTTA.

I think I tried following "PETAL" structure at one point

Point (topic sentence)
Evidence (quote etc)
Technique (i.e metaphor etc)
A Analysis (Intention/Purpose/Explanation)
Link (Refer to question)
