On a separate sheet of paper or on your computer, write a conclusion for the other introduction you wrote for
Lesson 12. Use one of the following strategies: a prediction, solution or recommendation, or call to action.

Like introductions, conclusions serve several important functions. They refocus the essay by restating the thesis;
they offer a gift to the reader in the form of a new understanding (which is an extension of the thesis); they pro-
vide a sense of closure; and they arouse readers’ emotions. Some of the same strategies for introductions also work
for conclusions, including quotations, questions, and anecdotes. Other closing techniques include predictions, solu-
tions or recommendations, and calls to action.
