Question!!

(Wow, it took me forever to figure out how to post on here... I hate technology sometimes. :P)

Okay, so I keep hearing from people that this essay has to be 15 paragraphs long, but I'm pretty sure Ms. Dahlin made no mention of that in my class(3rd hour)... Is this really a rule? Or just a guideline? Anyone have clarification? Perhaps Ms. D, if you're on here, you could clear this up.

Thanks! Happy essay writing! (<--Oxymoron ;] )

4-5 pages is the requirement. This translates to roughly 12-15 paragraphs. The only reason I brought up the paragraph count was to give students a way to think about how much work they needed to do each day.

If you have 8 paragraphs or 17 - it's fine. 4-5 pages is the formal requirement.
