Research Paper due Wednesday: 

 3-5 pages double spaced, Times New Roman font.  (See library page for MLA Formatting for help).  All papers should include a Works Cited page and a turnitin submission or the paper won't be graded (a penalty for each day late!)  See me or the librarian prior to class Wednesday if you need help.  See my previous posts for how to set up turnitin.

Today:  How to write a conclusion and Introduction to Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

Strategies for writing an effective conclusion
One or more of the following strategies may help you write an effective conclusion.
  • Return to the theme or themes or claim in the introduction. This strategy brings the reader full circle. For example, if you begin by describing a scenario, you can end with the same scenario as proof that your essay is helpful in creating a new understanding. You may also refer to the introductory paragraph by using key words or parallel concepts and images that you also used in the introduction.
  • Synthesize, don’t summarize: Include a brief summary of the paper’s main points, but don’t simply repeat things that were in your paper. Instead, show your reader how the points you made and the support and examples you used fit together. Pull it all together.
  • Include a provocative insight or quotation from the research or reading you did for your paper.
  • Propose a course of action, a solution to an issue, or questions for further study. This can redirect your reader’s thought process and help her to apply your info and ideas to her own life or to see the broader implications.
Strategies to avoid
  • Beginning with an unnecessary, overused phrase such as “in conclusion,” “in summary,” or “in closing.” Although these phrases can work in speeches, they come across as wooden and trite in writing.
  • Stating the thesis/claim for the very first time in the conclusion.
  • Introducing a new idea or subtopic in your conclusion.
  • Including evidence (quotations, statistics, etc.) that should be in the body of the paper.
