Introduction

We are writing our conclusions today! Our conclusions should not be the same as our introductions, but they should "go with" them. They are partners. One starts us off strong and the other provides the reader with a full understanding a sense of closure.

Conclusions should summarize the main points in your essay by restating your opinion. Do not include any new points. I always like to include a call to action in my opinion essays, like encouraging the reader to do something.

Make sure we NEVER write "I hope you liked my essay" or "... and that's all about ______." This is a useless way to conclude your essays.
