LESSON 74: WRITING AN ESSAY – CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH
How to execute the perfect Mic Drop.
Discuss with your class: Have you ever watched an amazing movie or series, but the last 10 minutes ruined EVERYTHING?
"An essay is exactly the same! If your conclusion is weak or introduces weird new information, the reader will feel disappointed."
Your introduction started broad and became specific. Your conclusion does the exact opposite: it starts specific and ends broad!
Remind the reader of your main argument, but use different words. Do not just copy and paste from the introduction!
Briefly mention the key points you made in your body paragraphs. Bring the ideas together.
End with a strong, emotional, or global statement. Leave a lasting impression in the reader's mind.
To sum up, recycling is a vital process that deeply benefits the environment.
As discussed, it conserves natural resources, lowers our need to collect raw materials, and keeps usable items out of landfills. Furthermore, it significantly reduces our carbon footprint by extending the longevity of materials.
Ultimately, recycling is only one part of a much-needed effort to combat climate change, but it is an essential action that guarantees a healthier and more stable planet for future generations.
