Students have written a 5-paragraph essay. This essay, which is completed, describes three things the student likes. The first paragraph is an introduction. The last paragraph is a conclusion. The remaining paragraphs each describe one of the things the student likes.
Revise Essay. Students must now expand their 5-paragraph essay. Each paragraph has five sentences. Students must expand sentence 2, 3, and 4 into a new paragraph each. This is to be done for paragraphs 2, 3, and 4 of their original essay. All of the original essay will be repeated. Nine new paragraphs will be added to the original.
