Integrate byline conclusion

The conclusion is the very last paragraph  of your essay – you’re nearly done! Your goal here is to tie together  your essay’s main points,   leaving your reader with a strong impression  of your argument and why it matters. I’ll walk you through a  conclusion in 3 simple steps,   with an example conclusion  from our essay about Braille.  Hi, I’m Jessica from Scribbr, here to  help you achieve your academic goals  Step 1, return to your thesis In the first sentence of your conclusion,   signal that the essay is coming to an end  by returning to your overall argument. It’s important to avoid direct repetition, so  don’t just copy your thesis statement here!   Try to rephrase it in a way that shows how your  essay has moved the thesis forward, like this: Braille paved the way for dramatic changes  in the way blind people were treated   and the opportunities available to them. Step 2, review your main points Next, remind the reader of the key points  that you used to support your argument. Instead of simply summarizing each paragraph  in turn; see if you can tie it all together   in a sentence or two that shows the  relationship between those points. So the points of this paragraph would be: Reimagine existing reading systems  The willingness of sighted teachers  to adapt to students' reality  And that Braille helped drive broader  social changes in the status of blindness Step 3, show why it matters To wrap up your conclusion, it’s a good idea to  zoom out and take a broader view of the topic.

Can your ideas also   be applied to different contexts, or can you  connect them to a broader debate or theme? Try to leave the reader with a lingering sense  of interest in your topic, something like this; New accessibility tools provide practical  advantages to those who need them,   but they can also change the perspectives  and attitudes of those who do not. There are some common mistakes that  students make when writing a conclusion.   Here are a few pitfalls to avoid! Don’t include new evidence. It’s ok to briefly  mention related topics that you didn’t cover in   the essay – but any evidence or ideas that  are essential to supporting your thesis   should appear earlier in the  essay, not in the conclusion. Don’t undermine your argument. It  can be tempting to say things like: This is just one approach among many. There are good arguments on   both sides of this issue. There is no clear answer to this problem. But these phrases make your point  sound uncertain or confused. Even if you’ve explored several  different points of view,   your own position should come  across clearly and confidently. And here’s a bonus tip: for a stronger conclusion,  avoid generic “concluding phrases” like: In conclusion… To sum...
