7. Thanks for the information. I had no idea essays were so formulated.

It's surprising to me that they specify length in lines rather than sentences. The structure that you describe sounds fine - i.e. an essay that is structured that way is well-structured. But, I think that type of constraint on an essay is far too restrictive and doesn't encourage students to actually learn to write.
