The most obvious skills that are required for five part paragraphs are the ones detailed in the requirments. You need to have good concrete details, good commentary, and good transitions. The most challenging and the one often commented on was commentary. Most either had problems coming up with their own original thoughts and simply tacked on something not meaningful, or they wrote too much. This could be rather painful at times, but others it turned out really well. Comeing up with this material was probably the thing that needs to be worked on most.
In the future I believe that these types of paragraphs will be much easier in that respect. The reason I believe this is because we've had so much time looking at what each other have done well and not well. I was able to look at someone elses work and think, "Thats a great way to explain that." It also allowed us to see what you wanted to avoid. This was pretty jarring for me, as I was among the last to read my paper. I read my own paper and wished I could have edited it for the things I had learned from my classmates. Ah well, there is always next time.
I'm aware of how late this is. I am such a fool...
