Transcript Concluding Sentence

Writing a Conclusion
There are three parts to your conclusion:
1. Restate the thesis (in a different way)
2. Summation (what the reader should have learned,
why it is important and how it relates to the world)
3. Concluding sentence (final thought; leave the
reader something to think about)
Topic Sentence: This is where the main ideas are
summed up and the thesis statement is restated in a
different, interesting way.
Example:
When a person attempts to artificially increase
his intelligence, without knowing the possible
outcomes, it may negatively impact his life.
Summation: This is where the reader is told what
he/she should have learned from the essay, why it is
significant and how it relates to the real world.
Example:
Charlie, the main character in “Flowers for Algernon,”
agrees to such a surgery. He then suffers when he
realizes the truth about his friends and his approaching
death. As proven in “Smart Drugs,” experimental drugs
to increase intelligence can be dangerous. Artificially
increasing intelligence, whether by surgery or the use of
drugs, is not beneficial to human beings.
Concluding Sentence: This is the final thought, the final
chance to leave the reader with something to think
about. It should be a bold statement that cements the
essays message in the mind of the reader.
Example:
The decision to let science change a person’s future can
lead to disaster.
