Confession: when I was a student, I never knew how to end my essays, so they always ended very randomly and abruptly! 

I don’t want that to happen to your students, so let’s give them some help. Here are three simple ways to restate the thesis in a conclusion paragraph or statement:

  1. Answer the question, ‘so what?’ In light of what I’ve told you so far, what are you going to do about it?
  2. Consider telling the reader what they should do next. Given what I’ve told you, here’s what you need to go out and do.
  3. Remind the reader why the topic or the information is important. Present a sense of urgency to the reader! 

Those are three ways students can restate their thesis in the conclusion to make it more interesting for the reader. Now, go give it a try today!
