End Game: Conclusion (continued from last week)

An effective conclusion must:

• Pull together all your ideas.

• Leave your readers feeling satisfied.
• Prompt readers to continue thinking about your writing after they’ve finished reading it.

There are various ways to end your writing:

Ø   Summarize and restate your ideas: restate your main idea in your first sentence. Then summarize the key points you made. Be sure to restate your ideas in a way that is different from your essay. This will help you avoid repetition and make your essay more effective.

Ø     State an opinion: to conclude with an opinion, summarize the topic and then share your feelings on the issue. This method is especially effective for a letter, review and persuasive essay.

Ø     Call for action: tell your audience what you want them to think or do. It can be a suggestion, demand or plea or a combination of these proposals.

BODY TALK

Last week we discussed how to begin/introduce your write-up. Today we will discuss how to craft the body of your write-up.

To craft the body of write-up, start with:

• A topic sentence.
• Add supporting details: Focus on the words that elaborate your ideas. You can use details like: statistics, examples of past occurrences, and sensory details.
•  Use transitions to connect ideas.

Topic Sentences?

A topic sentence describes the sentence in an expository paragraph which summarizes the main idea of that paragraph. It is usually the first sentence in a paragraph (Wikipedia). A topic sentence guides the content of your paragraph. Each topic sentence;

1.   Tells what the paragraph is about: It shapes your paragraph by limiting its contents.
2.    Supports your main topic and sub-topics.
3.    Deals with one main point. This makes it easier to organize your material.

 A Topic Sentence can be:

1. A reworking of the question you have been given.
2. A statement of purpose.
3. A sentence containing statistics.
