While the quality of the response is more important than the length, you should expect to write at least five paragraphs, an introduction including an argument explaining how you will answer the question and defend your argument (a thesis), the body of the essay with specific examples that support your argument (3 paragraphs to separate your points, you may need more depending on the response) and a conclusion. You should expect to write about 1 to 1 1/2 pages typed double spaced.
