Tip #5: How many Paragraphs?!?!!?

Students are always scared about how many paragraphs they should write. Well ... according to the state standard you need to do the following:

Have a logical and clear plan of organization. Also, have an introduction and conclusion that doesn't just restate the theme.

But if you really need an answer as to how many paragraphs, I would recommend one for each bullet ... so that would be 3 body, 1 intro, and 1 conclusion.

•Describe the historical circumstances surrounding this constitutional or civic issue

•Explain efforts by individuals, groups, and/or governments to address this constitutional or civic issue

•Discuss the extent to which these efforts were successful

( they could also make the third bullet question  •Discuss the impact of the efforts on the United States and/or American society)
