sort of smooth transition into the next paragraph. Conclusion Your conclusion brings home the main point of your essay. In a sense, you just need to remind your reader of how you proved your thesis. Do not simply re-state your introduction as conclusions need to show some higher level of understanding and insight after you've discussed topic. R: Revise Now that your essay is finally constructed, it's time for you to check it over to make sure it makes a good impression. Spell check is not fool proof (it won't fix an error like mixing up its or it's), so have a dictionary and thesaurus handy. Content During this part of the revision, make sure your topic and thesis are clearly presented, proved and supported. Style During this check, you should make sure your essay is interesting to readers. It is also important to remember that using big words and complicated sentences does not make your essay sound sophisticated. In fact, the meaning of your sentences may be lost if you use fancy language. Wait a little while to check your paper again; you might notice something that you did not catch before. It may also be worthwhile to have your essay checked over by a peer or a parent; a revision by a third party will give you a good idea if your work makes sense to others.
