1 Writing a strong conclusion
SAT Essay Writing a strong conclusion

2 The Layout Sentence #1 – Reintroduce the topic
Sentence  #2 – Reword the thesis Sentence #3 – End with a parting thought

3 Example: Intro: Knowledge is power. In agriculture, medicine, and industry, for example, knowledge has liberated us from hunger, disease, and tedious labor. Today, however, our knowledge has become so powerful that it is beyond our control. So let’s say you’ve written some nice body paragraphs showing how knowledge has run amuck . Now it’s time for your conclusion. You don’t really have to bring up specific points from your body paragraphs—though you can. Let’s look at an example…

4 Conclusion Sentence #1 (Reintroduce the topic)
Knowledge can liberate us, but it can also limit us. Sentence #2 (Reword the thesis) Yet, today knowledge has become so vast as to become unmanageable, and ultimately beyond our control. Sentence #3 (End With a Parting Thought) Unless we can find a way to once again ensure that knowledge works for us, it will inevitably work against us.

5 Now it’s your turn… Time to Practice 
