Answer: So What?
Why did you just write and essay on this topic?
Why should I care?
- Maintain the flow of the essay
- Signal that you will begin wrapping up your thoughts
- Do not introduce another idea
- Re-state your main topic
What Should a Conclusion NOT DO?
Just "sum things up"
Include new information
That's what your body paragraphs are for!
Focus only on one point of your argument
Include the phrase "in conclusion"
Return to Your Thesis
Springboard Your Conclusion!
