  1. Conclusions for Expository Essays How to end your paper!

  2. Conclusion • The conclusion is the final paragraph of your essay. It must contain: • Summary Statement • Clincher The clincher and the summary statement can come in any order in your conclusion

  3. Summary Statement Strategies • Summarize your controlling idea • Summarize your main points • Sum up a general idea of the intended message of your essay.

  4. Clincher Strategies • Leave the audience with something specific to think about • Show appreciation • Make a prediction for the future • Express hope for the future • Use a quotation • Create a scenario • Complete an anecdote that you began in the introduction • Ask a question • Call the reader to action • Recognize the opposing view point

  5. Effective CONCLUSION! To sum it all up, I believe that a course on race car driving is just the thing our school needs to spice up the curriculum. I encourage you to take my recommendation into consideration. In the future, maybe school workers and students can all work together to have a school where students can enjoy high quality, action packed class at school.

  6. Effective CONCLUSION Overall, I believe that a class designed to teach students about basketball is a perfect class for you to consider adding to the school day. Perhaps our school can be the home of the next Michael Jordan!

  7. Ineffective Strategies • The end • that’s all I know about… • that’s the end of my paper on… • I hope you liked my paper/story… • now you know all about… • So, what do you think? • Well… THESE PHRASES ARE A WASTE OF PENCIL/INK

  8. Ineffective Conclusion Well, that’s all I know about hunting class. I hope you enjoyed my paper. The end.

  9. Ineffective Conclusion In conclusion, this school is just okay, but it can be better with a class on basketball. THE END.

  10. Conclusions Hints • Start with a transition • Some how sum up the paper with a summary statement • Use a clincher strategy • Do NOT bring up anything brand new
