Writing Conclusions

Writing your conclusion should be one of the easier parts of this project. This video does a good job giving you three simple tips in an easy to understand way. (As before it is important to take note of what NOT to do!)

Concluding an essay in Four Steps:

Transition

First, you want to start with a transition. Try to use something more creative than, "In conclusion..." or "To sum up..." or "I feel that..." and add a simple statement. For example, 
Consequently, the younger generations will be group to act on climate change.

Re-State Thesis

Next, add your thesis again to drive home your issue. Don't write it again word for word, but alter it so it sounds fresh and important as you close your writing. If my thesis was, "The current administration in the US government does not take climate change seriously and if we don't act to reverse global warming, the planet will become uninhabitable quicker than we realize" I could write:
People of a certain age, who remain in power, cant or won't grasp the significance of climate change. It is up to the youth of this country and the world to make combating global warming a priority.

Summarize Main Points

After you have a re-worded version of the thesis include your three main points. Don't run on and don't undermine your argument. Just bang them out, one, two, three:
The planet is clearly becoming hotter. Whole ecosystems are being wiped out and we must severely regulate pollution and natural resource use sooner rather than later to prevent a disaster. 

End It

Add one smart line to wrap up the whole thing or call to action. Continuing with my example, I could write, "Therefor, young people must take action to protect our future on this planet." And put all together will look like this: 
Consequently, the younger generations will be group to act on climate change. People of a certain age, who remain in power, cant or won't grasp the significance of climate change. It is up to the youth of this country and the world to make combating global warming a priority. The planet is clearly becoming hotter. Whole ecosystems are being wiped out and we must severely regulate pollution and natural resource use sooner rather than later to prevent a disaster. Therefor, young people must take action to protect our future on this planet.
Please so exactly this with your issue and information from your project.
