The conclusion of an essay typically follows a three-part structure, designed to effectively wrap up your writing and leave a lasting impression. Typically, the conclusion begins with restating the thesis with different wording, briefly summarizing the main points, and finishing with a final thought or closing statement.
Optional Techniques to End Strong:
A powerful quote
A rhetorical question
A call to action
A reference back to the introduction (“bookending”)
