<p>Hi I would like to know if the traditional 3 paragraph essay would be better than a 4,5,6 paragraph because I always see sample essays that have 4-6 paragraphs.</p>
<p>So should I stick to the 3 sandwich style or the 4,5,6 would be a better choice.</p>
<p>There is no best format or optimal number of paragraphs. Do what works best for the story you are telling. A “typical three paragraph essay” is really not what you should be aiming for here, but a good essay could wind up being three paragraphs long. Our D’s this year has 7 paragraphs.</p>
