 A concluding sentence does more than wrap up what you have said in your paragraph: it summarize ideas it transitions to the next paragraph it demonstrates the importance of your topic idea Copyright Copyright 2012

Think of your paragraph like a hamburger: The top bun is the topic sentence The middle ingredients are the supporting sentences The bottom bun is the concluding sentence The buns hold everything together and resemble each other, just as the topic and concluding sentences should. Copyright Copyright 2012

Do's Do stick to the main points. Do allow for a smooth transition between the concluding sentence and the topic sentence of the next paragraph. For example: o Concluding sentence "For these reasons, sea level rise is a climate change impact." o Topic sentence in following paragraph "Another key stressor from climate change is extreme weather." Copyright Copyright 2012

More Do's Do focus and be specific about how your supporting sentences contribute to the concluding sentence. Do arrange the body of the paragraph in a sequence that flows to lead up to the concluding sentence. Do make sure that a concluding sentence is necessary for your paragraph, as some short paragraphs may not require one. Copyright Copyright 2012

Don'ts Sometimes all you need are a few well chosen words to sum up the main idea you have developed. Don't simply rephrase your topic sentence; that would be redundant. Don't begin with an unnecessary, overused phrase like "in conclusion", "in summary", "in closing", or "as shown in the essay." (These may work in speeches, but they come across as wooden and trite in writing.) Copyright Copyright 2012
