1. Conclusions 101 Wrapping it all up with style!!!

2. Think Bookends…. Reverse the order of what you have written in the introduction Instead of moving from general to specific statements, start by paraphrasing your thesis statement and summing up what you have said in your paper, allowing your statements to become more and more general.

3. Remember… The conclusion should remind the reader of the points that have been made in the paper. The concluding sentence should grab the attention of not only your teacher but a general audience.

4. A really awesome conclusion Comes up with an application of the topic to the world OR Comes up with an application to Lord of the Flies In other words, it should have some universal meaning
