Article: Explain how you demonstrated your thesis, as well as what the reader should take from your paper. By reminding your reader of the ideas you expressed in your thesis, you can more effectively show how your points and evidence support your thesis. Let's say your thesis reads, "Allowing students to visit the library during lunch improves campus life and supports academic achievement because it encourages reading, allows students to start assignments early, and provides a refuge for students who eat alone." You might restate it as, "Evidence shows students who have access to their school's library during lunch check out more books and are more likely to complete their homework; additionally, students aren't forced to eat alone." These sentences should pull together all of your points and evidence for your reader. Don't simply list your reasons or the evidence you provided. Instead, explain how your evidence works together to support your thesis. You might write, "According to data, students checked out more books when they were allowed to visit their library during lunch, used that time to do research and ask for help with homework, and reported feeling less alone at lunch time. This shows that opening up the library during lunch can improve student life and academic performance." If you're writing an argument essay, address the opposing argument, as well. You might write, "Although administrators worry that students will walk the halls instead of going to the library, schools that allow students into the library during lunch reported less behavioral issues during lunch than schools that don't allow students in the library. Data show that students were spending that time checking out more books and working on homework assignments." Consider how you want your reader to feel after they finish reading your paper. This is the feeling you want to create in your reader when they read the last sentence of your paper. Here are some techniques you can use to create this feeling: Call your reader to action. For example, "By working with school administrators, Greenlawn ISD can increase academic achievement by letting students use the library during lunch." End with a warning. You might write, "If students aren't allowed to use the library during lunch, they are missing out on a valuable learning opportunity they'll never get back." Evoke an image. Write, "Next year, students at Greenlawn could be gathered around a table in the library reading or broadening their minds." Compare your topic to something universal to help your reader relate. You might write, "Everyone knows how stressful it is to have a planner full of assignments, so having extra time to work on them during lunch would be a great relief to many students." Show why the issue is significant. Write, "Giving students more time to spend in the library will help them become more comfortable spending time there, which also helps the library's mission." Predict what would happen if your ideas are implemented. Say, "Next year, students at Greenlawn could increase their academic achievements, but results will only happen if they can use the library during lunch." End with a compelling quote. For instance, "As author Roald Dahl once said, 'If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.'" You might be writing a conclusion for a unique type of paper, such as a post-experiment report. If this is the case, your instructor or assignment sheet might provide you with different formatting instructions. Always follow the instructions provided by your instructor so you can receive full credit for your work. You could also ask your instructor if you can see an example of a well-written conclusion to give you an idea about what they expect you to write.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Begin a conclusion by revisiting your thesis to show how you proved it. Summarize your argument in 1-2 sentences. End your paper with a statement that makes your reader think. Talk to your instructor if you have questions about the assignment.
Article: If you'd like to be as exact as possible in your placement of the acrylic print, you'll need to measure it beforehand. Use a tape measure or ruler to measure the distance from the top of the acrylic print to the wire. Pull up on the wire so that it resembles how it will when it's hanging. This will help you get a more accurate measurement. If you plan on using 1 piece of hardware to hold up the print, pull upwards in the middle of the wire. If you plan on using 2 pieces of hardware, position 2 fingers where the hardware would be installed and pull up on the wire to help your measurement. Use a pencil to mark where you're going to drill in the screw, nail, hook, or other piece of hardware to hold up the print. Use a level to make sure your markings are even if you're installing more than 1 piece of hardware. Choose hardware that will support the weight of your acrylic print. For example, hooks are best for lighter prints while nails and screws are good for heavier prints. Use a hammer, screwdriver, or drill to install the hardware into the wall securely. Read the box that the hardware comes in to see how much weight the hardware can hold. Once the hardware is installed, all you have to do is hang the acrylic print on the wall! Position the print so that the wire is hanging securely on the installed hardware. Adjust the acrylic print so that it's level and straight.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Measure the distance from the top of the print to the wire, if desired. Mark where the hardware should be installed on the wall. Install the appropriate hardware into the wall to hold your acrylic print. Hang the print on the wall using the wire.
