  5. b) Transition statement-This should be in the last sentenceof a paragraph. This provides a connection to the next paragraph.

  7. 3. Conclusion-A conclusion wraps up your essay. This should include: a) A re-statement of thesis in different words. b) Larger connection-This connects your paper to specific facts outside the essay. This is your last chance to drive home the thesis.
