How to Write the Conclusion

Conclusion (▲ = narrow to broad)
  • Begin by re-stating your Thesis Statement, but not in the exact words you used before. [Restatement]
  • Gradually get broader.
  • Predict what bad things could happen if we don't enact your policy and/or what good could come if we do. [Prediction]
  • Tell me what you want me to do about it [Call to Action] OR try to make me feel bad about it. [Emotional Appeal]
You don't need to include evidence in the conclusion.
