How many paragraphs does a literary review have? This is a writing assignment for Grade 12 English. I need to write literary review on an article I find on the internet.

Question

I have an identification paragraph that talks about the author's credentials. Then I have a paragraph that sumarizes the main points of the article. And finally the end with an evaluation paragraph.

In total I have 3 paragraphs. Do I need separate paragraphs for an introduction and conclusion?

Thanks for taking the time to help. Greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't know that there is any magic number of paragraphs. It would undoubtedly be better to make sure you "cover all your bases" than count paragraphs.
