Strong beginnings and endings have the ability to persuade readers to read through an essay and to believe the writer’s argument. Spend time crafting, revising, and editing your conclusion.
The
Concluding Paragraph is a summary of the most interesting highlights, including the
hook. There is no new information. Remember like a bad ending to a pretty decent film, you do not want to leave your reader unsatisfied by providing a weak or rushed conclusion. Spend some time giving your reader one last reason to believe your argument/assertion.
· Begin with the
topic you wrote about in the
Week 2 Discussion.
· Summarize at least 2-3 sentences of the most interesting supporting details and/or evidence. Present them in a new way with new words and a new word order; in other words, the reader should not recognize sentences from earlier in the essay.
· Restate the thesis in a new way with new words and a new word order. The reader should not recognize the thesis statement.
· Submit the Concluding Paragraph in one MSWord document. Please add the
thesis statement to the top of the document and hand it all in by 11:59 PM EST Sunday, Week 6.
