In a conclusion paragraph, you first want to have your final say on the issues you’ve discussed in your paper. This also includes summarizing your thoughts. You also want to give a reasons/reasons the importance of your paper. Lastly, you want to have a "call to action" which basically means have the reader do something.

In a conclusion paragraph, you summarize what you’ve written about in your paper. When you’re writing a good conclusion paragraph, you need to think about the main point that you want to get across and be sure it’s included. If you’ve already written a fabulous introductory paragraph, you can write something similar with different wording. Here are some points to remember:

Use your introductory paragraph as a guide. You may have started by saying, “There are three classes at school that I absolutely can’t wait to go to every day.” You can start your conclusion by saying, “Gym, Math, and Art are the three classes I try to never miss.”

If it’s a longer paper, a good place to start is by looking at what each paragraph was about. For example, if you write a paper about zoo animals, each paragraph would probably be about one particular animal. In your conclusion, you should briefly mention each animal again. “Zoo animals like polar bears, lions, and giraffes are amazing creatures.”

Leave your readers with something to think about. Suggest that they learn more with a sentence like, “We have a lot to learn about global warming.” You can also give them something to do after reading your paper. For example, “It’s easy to make your own popsicles. Grab some orange juice and give it a try!”

Summary: How to Make a Good Conclusion Paragraph

Remember that it’s important to wrap up your writing by summarizing the main idea for your readers. This brings your writing to a smooth close and creates a well-written piece of work.

What is a conclusion paragraph?

A conclusion is what you will leave with your reader

It “wraps up” your essay

It demonstrates to the reader that you accomplished what you set out to do

It shows how you have proved your thesis

It provides the reader with a sense of closure on the topic

Structure

A conclusion is the opposite of the introduction

Remember that the introduction begins general and ends specific

The conclusion begins specific and moves to the general

Essay Structure

So, if we use shapes to demonstrate the essay’s content, it would look like this:

Introduction

How to Write Conclusion

Thesis statement

Body of Essay

rectangle

Rephrased thesis statement

triangle facing up

Conclusion

What to include

Your conclusion wraps up your essay in a tidy package and brings it home for your reader

Your topic sentence should summarize what you said in your thesis statement

This suggests to your reader that you have accomplished what you set out to accomplish

Do not simply restate your thesis statement, as that would be redundant

Rephrase the thesis statement with fresh and deeper understanding

Your conclusion is no place to bring up new ideas

Your supporting sentences should summarize what you have already said in the body of your essay

If a brilliant idea tries to sneak into the final paragraph, you must pluck it out and let it have its own paragraph in the body, or leave it out completely

Your topic for each body paragraph should be summarized in the conclusion

Wrap up the main points

Your closing sentence should help the reader feel a sense of closure

Your closing sentence is your last word on the subject; it is your “clincher”

Demonstrate the importance of your ideas

Propel your reader to a new view of the subject

End on a positive note

Your closing sentence should make your readers glad they read your paper

Strategies for an effective conclusion

Play the “So What” Game.

When you read a statement from the conclusion, ask yourself, “So what?” or “Why should anybody care?”

Ponder that question and answer it

Basically, I’m just saying that education was important to Douglass

So what?

Well, it was important because it was a key to him feeling like a free and equal citizen

Why should anybody care?

That’s important because plantation owners tried to keep slaves from being educated so that they could maintain control. When Douglass obtained an education, he undermined that control personally.

Return to the theme or themes in the introduction

This brings the reader full circle

If you begin by describing a scenario, you can end with the same scenario as proof that your essay is helpful in creating a new understanding

Refer to the introductory paragraph by using key words, or parallel concepts and images that you also used in the introduction

Explain how equality between the sexes could be important to social organization
valina [46]

<span>Achieving egalitarian (among gender, women and children), or being an egalitarian, is hard to achieve since not all people want to be in equal footing with everyone. However we could lessen its prevalence: (1) educate people about the effects of inequality; (2) engage them in talks that relates to being empathetic with the inferior group; and (3) educate the inferior, let them know their rights and (4) socialization, through this, both sexes will know each other’s perspective onto things.</span>
