INTRODUCTORY
CONCLUSION
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.

Rephrase the Thesis• The key word is rephrase. Write the thesis in a different way.• Example:
• Original thesis: Every child should have a pet because pets provide companionship, teach compassion, and encourage responsibility.
• Rephrased thesis: Companionship, compassion, and responsibility are three things that we can give to our children in the form of a warm, cuddly, and furry friend.

Come Full Circle• End where you began: look back at the hook you used to
introduce your essay and give some thought to how you might tie the end of your essay to the beginning.
• For example: if you began with an anecdote, you might refer to that anecdote again in the conclusion.
