Writing the Conclusion...Your Thesis Statement must include the

following:

Thesis Restatement• In this sentence, you are to restate

your thesis statement from your intro paragraph using different words.

Example:John Steinbeck's novel explores the

theme of hope and loss. The characters of Lennie, Curley's wife, and George all dreamt of a greater life, but lost those dreams throughout the novel.

Thesis Points Summary• This is where you should summarize

(NOT REGURGITATE) your three thesis points in two or three sentences.

Example: Lennie's dream for land and animals ended with him killing his puppy and Curley's wife. George lost his hope of living on a ranch with his friend as he had to kill him. Curley's wife never reached her hopes for an exciting life because she was married to a ranch hand and ultimately killed.

Clincher Sentence• This is the last sentence of your essay.

• Do your best to leave your reader with something they will remember and connect back to the attention-getter in your intro paragraph.

• Make a statement that SHOWS the importance of the subject in your essay.

Example:The reader must decide if the

consequence of loss was worth having hope at all.
