What Does a Conclusion Do?

1. Strongly emphasizes
the stance of your paper
(thesis statement) and
reaffirms your main
points.

A conclusion swings back, reaching

backwards to restate, reemphasize,
or reshape information already
provided.
 Left Side

What Does a Conclusion Do?

2. Connects to the
introduction and
body paragraphs
in obvious or
subtle ways.

Any well written paper will make the

reader think and question. The last
sentence of your paper can help the
writer accomplish this task.

5 Conclusion Attacks

words, finish stories, finish discussion in to a different,

an area that is similar yet how the issue will change or
different than the intro to affect society as time

3. Build off of a Quotation: If
the introduction provided
dialogue or a direct
quotation, use a different
quotation or reference the
information once more in a
slightly new way.

Training Session 4:
Use a Technique
4. Direction: Pick one of the techniques and try to write 3
sentences using one or more than one of them.
Remember to refer BACK to your other paragraphs. This is
just practice, so don’t put a ton of pressure on yourself!

• Using Your Introduction to

Write Your Conclusion
• One writer’s trick is to
have your conclusion
mimic the structure of the
introduction, but in the
reverse order.
• Apply the basic structure
of your introduction, but
then flip its order.
• Example: Intro=
Ambiguous to Clear;
Conclusion= Clear to
Instead of ending with your thesis,
the conclusion restates it right at
Ambiguous (Big Picture)
the beginning.

• Sentence 1: Thesis
Restatement
• Your conclusion should
open by a restatement of
your thesis.
• Restatement is the idea
of reemphasizing an
idea in a new way, to
offer a new perspective
• In a conclusion, the use
of restatement often is
used to be more direct,

good writers can say the same thing in with greater urgency.

• Sentence 2: Convincing
Concrete Detail
• Reemphasize a main fact, a
piece of evidence that is
central to your paper.
• Conclusions do not introduce
new information; instead they
shine new perspectives on
content already used.
• Again, you should not simply
copy what you have written,
but instead restate it.

Training Session 5:
Using Restatement
5. Direction: Take 2 of the concrete details
provided below. Emphasize the main
idea of each sentence by RESTATING it
in a new way.

5A. A black belt often takes 4 years of intense training for

students to earn.
5B. Advanced degrees and tiers of black belts continue to
be earned by students for many years after becoming a
black belt.
