Writing a Conclusion

A conclusion should

• stress the importance of your reason for informing
• give the paper a sense of completeness
• leave a final impression on the reader

Techniques for Closing:

• Summary: Summarize the content, presenting the information through a new angle rather than repeating everything directly.
• Reaction or feeling: Tell how you feel about the content.
• Image description: Describe a visual or sensory image related to the content.
• Image: Include a visual image (photo, drawing, clipart) related to the overall message.
• Quotation: Present an interesting quotation or fact related to what you have written.  You might need to write something before or after the quotation/fact so that it makes sense to the reader.
• Encouragement to reflect:  End with a statement that encourages readers to keep thinking about the concept.
• Encouragement to act: End with a statement that encourages the taking of some action(such as using less fossil fuel or continuing to look for real-life uses of math).
• Question: End with a question that encourages readers to keep thinking about the concept.
