Learn to Write a Conclusion in Under Five Minutes!
well guys it took me a while but I'm
finally back to tell you how to write an
excellent conclusion paragraph now this
specific video is going to be geared
more towards an informative or
argumentative piece as opposed to a
narrative piece so keep that in mind and
let's get started so there are three
steps to writing an awesome conclusion
paragraph the first is to always make
sure that you restate your pieces next
you want to summarize your main points
and finally you want to draw to a close
now remember this is your last
impression for your reader so you need
to make it count you can do these steps
in any order but I'm going to start with
restating your thesis here's where you
remind your reader of why you wrote your
essay your main argument but you want to
make sure you're not too repetitive
so you want to reword it and say it in a
different way than you did in your
introduction paragraph so take a look at
this example of how to reword a thesis
statement
the first example would be an example of
a thesis you might include in your
introduction the second example is how
you could reword that same thesis in
your conclusion so you're not too
repetitive

next when writing a conclusion you want
to make sure that you summarize your
main points from your body paragraphs
here's where you want to condense them
and restate them so you're not repeating
yourself but you're making sure to drive
your point home for example if we
continue on with the same topic you
might use these main points in your body
paragraphs Studies on the positive
effects of creativity in the classroom
connections between reading and memory
retention and literature circles and
connections between classmates teachers
etc in the restated version the bolded
is the thesis statement that we restated
before after that I've shown you an
example of how you could restate your
main points without being too repetitive
and finally you need to draw your
conclusion to a close so that you don't
leave your reader wondering what's next
there are a couple ways you can do this
but some of the most popular are making
a final and passable observation having
a call to action or even ending with a
powerful quotation
so here's an example of each an
observation a call to action and even a
quotation all of these are really
powerful ways to end your concluding
paragraph and your essay as a whole they
make an impact they address your final
point but they also let your reader know
that you're finished so there you have
it the easiest way to write an awesome
conclusion paragraphs do make sure that
you restate your thesis summarize your
main points and draw to a close however
you want to make sure that you don't
drag it out don't introduce brand new
information
don't leave the reader with questions
and did I mention don't repeat yourself
