Tips for the Conclusion
- Restate claim statement (in a different way using strong words) Transition words you can use: “In conclusion..., As you can see..., All in all...”
- Summarize your reasons from body paragraphs (can combine in 2 sentences)
- Leave your reader with a strong impression or idea on your topic.
- You could propose some solutions here if it fits for your issue OR include a ‘call to action’ - "what needs to happen"
Your conclusion should tell us why we should care about your paper. What is the significance of your claim? Why is it important to you as the writer or to me as the reader? What is going to happen if action is not taken?
