  1. How to Write Concluding Paragraphs Students’ Step by Step Guide

  2. Conclude by restating your topic in words that are different from those in paragraph one. Conclusion

  3. Bring your reader full-circle by returning to the main idea in your introduction. Conclusion

  4. Summarize paragraphs two, three, and four. Conclusion

  5. Show your reader how the arguments, explanations, examples, or descriptive details you made fit together. Conclusion

  6. End with a statement that makes the reader think or smile. Conclusion

  7. Use a quote, metaphor, or simile. Propose a solution to a problem. Explain how the ideas you presented apply to real life. Conclusion

  8. Draw a one sentence conclusion that leaves a memorable impression. Conclusion

  9. Avoid: • Ending with a rephrased thesis statement that contains no substantive changes. • Introducing a new idea or subtopic (although you may end with a provocative question; see below). • Focusing on a minor point in the essay. • Concluding with a sentence tacked on to your final point.

  10. Avoid • Apologizing for your view by saying such things as "I may not be an expert" or "At least this is my opinion." • Attempting to make up for an incomplete structure. (If you say you will discuss four books and only attempt a complete discussion of two books, do not try to cover the remaining texts in a concluding paragraph. In such a situation, it's best to limit your paper to topics you can realistically cover.)

  11. Conclude an essay with one or more of the following: • Include a brief summary of the paper's main points. • Ask a provocative question. • Use a quotation. • Evoke a vivid image. • Call for some sort of action. • End with a warning. • Universalize (compare to other situations). • Suggest results or consequences.
