Of course, a lot of short essays I wrote would have been about 5 paragraphs long and would have followed a pattern of "intro, various supporting topics, conclusions", but through a dozen or more classes in English, history, and social sciences, where this sort of writing was routine, what mattered was actually being able to support an argument. The specific structural details were a lot less important. I'd like to think that's still very real at the college level; I'm rather less optimistic at the high school level in much of the US.
