Summarize the following:
The first sentence of your concluding paragraph should restate your thesis. But you should not just restate your thesis. You should also say what the evidence you have provided has added to your thesis. For example, if your original thesis was, "Dogs used by the United States Marine Corps during WWII played a significant role in the Pacific theater," then your restated thesis might be something like, "Dogs of all breeds and sizes had an important and honored role to play in WWII, especially in the Pacific theater." Note that the second sentence repeats the information provided in your original thesis. It just says it in a new way while also hinting at the information you included in the body of the essay. Take one sentence to summarize each main piece of supporting evidence, as presented in your essay's body. You should not introduce any new information in your conclusion. Revisit your most compelling claims and discuss how they all support your main point. Use your last sentence to make a final statement about your topic. This last part of your final paragraph is your opportunity to say what should happen next. You can offer a solution or ask a new question about your topic. Explain how the topic affects the reader Explain how your narrow topic applies to a broader theme or observation Call the reader to action or further exploration on the topic Present new questions that your essay introduced
Restate and rephrase your thesis. Summarize and review your main ideas. Offer a final thought or call to action.
