Re: The five paragraph essay
In all my honors level english classes, they stressed the basic format of thesis statment/outline, then your supporting paragraphs, and closing with a conclusion. Basically, a no less than 5 paragraph essay. In my college class, we go by word counts, but use the same format. So I'll find myself writing 5 paragraph essays for 500 words and 7-8, or more for 1000 words plus.
In both classes, we are encouraged to follow the 'rules' for use of numbers, remove all contractions, and to follow those other basic grammatical rules. However, only in my honors level classes was the usage of "you" forbidden. In college, we are allowed to use it without penalty. However, "I" is forbidden unless the essay warrants it, such as an essay about yourself.
