Sophia.org English Composition II -- Grader Experiences

[P226mem]

When I was in elementary school and high school, the rule was 2 sentences constitutes a paragraph. The grader said ALL paragraphs must be 5 sentences long. Not longer or shorter. It was weird.

I agree; exactly 5 sentences is weird. You wind up with strange and stilted writing if you write like that. Maybe each paragraph is supposed to be a limerick!

There once was a grader so stuffy
That composing paragraphs was a toughy
We wrote day and night
But 'twas never quite right
When the grades came back, we were all huffy

now to remember to cite you properly as the source when I use this in that class.
