Research Paper Conclusion Paragraph

The conclusion should contain the following (not necessarily in this order): Restate the thesis (different words/mix it up) Mention the person’s legacy (how will he/she be remembered in history) Make the conclusion unified (tie into the attention getter)

What is the LEGACY?? A person’s legacy is how they are remembered by others. If your person is no longer living, what did they leave behind? What is the main thing they’re known for? If your person is still alive, then how do you think they will be remembered when they do die? This may mean making a prediction!

What is a unifying conclusion technique? (Tie into the intro) Look back at your introduction paragraph, especially your attention getter. Are there any keywords or ideas from the intro that you can use again in the conclusion? If you asked a question at the start, would it sound good to answer the question at the end? Or maybe ask the same question again? If you used a quote, is there another quote you can use that builds on the same idea?
