    When you say "No five paragraph essays," does that include the intro or does it mean at least 4 topic sentences with details?

    I think it means that you have to have more than 3 body paragraphs/topic sentences

    So are we supposed to add the essays in the compare/contrast packet, the Process packet, and the Inaugural speech to our bibliographies?
