Writing Effective Conclusions Goal: To understand the essential elements of a conclusion.

BACK TO THE FUTURE! Writers must look to the future….and know where to find BOTH the front and the back of the train!

Four Ways to Conclude 1.Touch back 2.Look to the future 3.Go to the heart 4.End with a zinger!

The “Touch back” conclusion Physical representation: Reach your hand over your shoulder, pat your back. DEFINITION: Touching back to the main idea of the essay as stated in the thesis paragraph.

“Look to the Future” conclusion Physical Representation: Hold your hand up to your forehead to demonstrate the importance of looking to the future.

Go to the Heart of the Matter Conclusion Physical representation: hit your heart with your fist to signify the importance of going to the heart of the matter. Think: WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT ALL MAKE? WHY SHOULD THE READER CARE?

End with a Zinger Conclusion Physical Representation: Pull back your arm like you are about to let go of a sling shot. This is the “zinger” or final statement that leaves the reader thinking, “WOW!” Think: how can I surprise my reader?
