<p>The hardest part for me is knowing how to structure the essay, such as how many paragraphs and how many sentences per paragraph.</p>
<p>I was thinking about this.</p>
<p>Paragraph 1: 3 sentences, including the thesis statement
Paragraph 2: Example supporting thesis statement, 5 sentences.
Paragraph 3: Example supporting thesis statement, 5 sentences.
Paragraph 4: Example against thesis statement, 5 sentences (it will also fight the non-supporting example).
Paragraph 5: Conclusion. Restate thesis statement and 4 sentences.</p>
<p>I was hoping that would work out to get me a 10~12. </p>
<p>What score did you get and what layout did you use?</p>
