Abstract | A sentence variety exercise, used to help student writers consciously consider and control the lengths and types of sentences in their essays, is discussed. Students revised paragraphs according to the method and reflected on whether they found the exercise useful in improving their writing. Reactions were mixed, although most students were able to reduce wordiness and make their work more concise. The author was able to recognize flaws in the exercise and refine it for future lessons.
