A paragraph should never go over one page double-spaced typed. One of the problems students have is not developing paragraphs adequately. A good thesuarus helps students write better paragraphs.

I have not read the newspaper article that this post is about. But I can't imagine a piece being comprised of eleven paragraphs, made up of one sentence each, holding any integrity.
