The conclusion paragraph in an explanatory essay should summarize the main points discussed in the essay and restate the thesis statement. It should also provide a sense of closure for the reader by offering a final thought or reflection on the topic.
The first paragraph should have a good introduction. The last sentence should contain your thesis, which answers the question. The next three paragraphs should support your thesis with three different pieces of evidence. The last paragraph should summarize all of your thoughts and opinions about the question and prove your thesis.
Thesis statement
The introductory paragraph should catch the readers eye and have a strong thesis statement.
Each sentence in a paragraph should support the main idea or topic sentence of that paragraph. The supporting sentences provide details, explanations, examples, or evidence that further develop the main point or thesis statement. Together, these sentences work together to convey a coherent and cohesive message to the reader.
A good closing statement for a debate should summarize your main points in a clear and persuasive manner. Remind the audience of your strongest arguments and why they should support your position. End with a memorable statement or call to action that leaves a lasting impression on the audience.
Restate the thesis statement (apexvs)
The standard five paragraph essay consists of three parts: the introduction, the body and the conclusion. The introduction sets the foundation of the paper and is concluded with the thesis statement, which is what the rest of the paper will address. The body consists of three paragraphs, each started with a topic sentence that directly supports the thesis statement. After each topic sentence within each body paragraph is 3-5 sentences providing specific support for the topic sentence of the paragraph. The conclusion wraps everything back together and connects back to the introduction. The key components are clarity of the thesis and topic sentences, direct support for each statement made and a good flow from one sentence to the next.
