5. Essay Planning

6. Essay Conclusions
‘An average essay can be built up by a strong conclusion
An excellent essay can be knocked down by a poor one’
Conclusions should never bring in new arguments or information. This shows poor planning and lack of thought in relation to structure
A strong conclusion merely draws together the most salient points and ends with the question being answered.
