3. Discussion: What are the purposes of conclusions? What should a good conclusion do? What are some techniques for concluding an essay?
Objective: To develop new strategies for writing effective conclusions for academic papers and to expand your understanding of what makes an effective conclusion.
Purpose: The concluding paragraph of a document plays a key role in how readers respond to the entire text. In this assignment, you will attempt a revision of your conclusion to Draft 1.1. Keep in mind that your original conclusion may remain the better of your two efforts.
Description: To complete this assignment, review the strategies for writing conclusions on pages 92-98. of your textbook. Then, copy and paste your original conclusion from your 1.1 draft and re-read it. In a brief sentence or two, identify and explain which of the strategies from the textbook you used in composing this conclusion. If you cannot identify one of these strategies in your conclusion, then describe the strategy you had in mind.
Next, revise your conclusion. You must incorporate a strategy from the textbook that is different from the structure your conclusion originally used.
Finally, write a short summary and evaluation of your revisions. Identify and explain which new strategy you used from the textbook and explain how changing the strategies used in your conclusion will influence your readers’ response to your analysis. Also let readers know here which conclusion, your original or the revision, is the strongest and why you believe that to be so.
The total length of this assignment should be 500 – 650 words, including the original conclusion, the revised version, and summary and justification.
