Conclusion Strategies. Echo. Restate or reuse the introduction strategy.
E N D
Echo Restate or reuse the introduction strategy. So, now let’s look back at the family recklessly speeding and swerving down a dark country highway, desperately trying to get to the hospital on time. This could be your family someday, maybe because of living in a remote area, or vacationing in one. Emergency service in outlying areas would prevent scenarios like this one.
Quotation/Dialogue Using a quote or dialogue at the end of the paper, similarly as you could use one at the beginning in an introduction. At the end of a paper dealing with discrimination or how a culture has been unfairly treated: “It is often easier to become outraged by an injustice half a world away rather than by oppression and injustice half a block from home.” Cart T. Rowan
Anecdote/Scenario A short story (real short – like a sentence or two – maybe three) that will illustrate the points made by your paper. It can be real or imagined.
Prediction The prediction is based on what outcome may happen if the change argued for does or does not occur. Best used for a argument or cause and effect essay. It can be presumed that if funding for cancer research ceases to exist, then research will stop which mean new cures and means of treatment will no longer be developed.
Question Be very careful with this one! Make sure your question cannot be answered with a “yes” or “no” or you may lose your reader right at the end. Example: How else can we stop students from feeling like they don’t belong in their own school just because they can’t afford to buy “just the right” clothes? Non-example: Don’t you wish that everyone at school wore matching uniforms too?
Call to Action A statement that provokes the reader to take action. Animals should never be abused. Cruelty to a weaker subject that cannot talk, cannot defend itself, cannot care for itself is the worst crime there is. Get involved; join an animal rights group, donate money or donate time to a group to help stop animal cruelty today!
Generalization from Information Given Review information and come to a generalized statement.
Response to “so what” question Start with a “so what” question AND provide the answer. (Works best with an argument) So what if we allow students to disrupt a class? What does it matter? It’s their education, right? If they don’t care about their grade – fine, let them fail. Well, the problem with that is, they’re not sitting in a seat quietly failing. No, students who decide to disrupt, play the class clown, decide they’re job, they’re existence is solely for the purpose of distracting others from achieving, from succeeding, and yes, academically becoming better, stronger student than they are – disruptive students are taking opportunities away from the students around them. So the answer to the so what, what does it matter is yes, it matters, it matters a lot.
Wish, hope, self-reflection My wish is that in the future people will consider the feelings of other, the importance of their cultures and traditions and keep those things in mind before making decisions that deny them the right to live they way they choose.
Ironic twist/surprising observation Twist of fate or a surprising observation. It amazes me that a government that says it wants its people to be environmentally responsible, will go to war in a foreign land to protect supply of oil – the use of which that same government has stated contributes to damage of the environment.
