Concluding Paragraph

Concluding Paragraph

There are many ways to write concluding paragraphs, but the fundamentals are key.

How To Write A Conclusion

• Use your itroductory paragraph as a guide.

• If it is a longer paper, a good place to start is by looking at what each paragraph is about.

• Leave your reader on something to think about.

What to include

• If a brilliant idea pops in your head, keep it out of the concluding paragraph

• Don't restate the thesis statement

• Each topic in your story should be mentioned in the essay

• The closing sentence should be pleasing to the reader

Concluding strategies that do not work

• beginning with unnecessary, overused prases.

• Stating the thesis for the very first time.

• introducing a new idea or subtopic in your conclusion.

• making sentimetal, emotional appeals that are out of character with the rest of the paper.

• including evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the paper.

Ineffective conclusions

• That's my story and I'm sticking to it types; Restates thesis

• Grab bag types; Creates confusion for the reader

• Sherlock Holmes types; States the thesis for the first time
