Answer:
Well first off, start at the beginning. Make sure you include sufficient background information, a good hook, and a good thesis. Background info are usually 2-4 sentences. The hook and thesis should be 1 sentence. (2 is max and pushing it).
For the body paragraphs:
Thesis statements at the beginning should be 1 sentence long.
The evidence should be good to well support what you are explaining, informing, entertaining, or arguing about. In a body paragraph, there is usually 1 to 2 evidences. 2 is better because it supports your reasons more. Along with these evidences comes the elaboration. These elaborations seem to want to be 1 sentence long, but don't let it make you. You should write maybe 2-4 sentences of elaboration, with 4 kind of pushing it. Make sure these sentences aren't run-on sentences as it can mislead information and take the reader away from the main topic. Transitions/restating the reason should take 1-2 sentences (2 pushing it a little).
If you are doing a argumentative essay, you will also include the counterclaim/argument. This will be 1-3 sentences long, where you describe the other side, give A reason why their side is somewhat better, than come back with saying why your reason is superior to the counter argument.
Finally, you have the conclusion. This will be restating your claim/thesis, adding a little background/forward thinking into it as well. Try leaving the reader with something to think about. The conclusions should usually be around 4 or 5 sentences.
