Hey guys! Struggling with how to write a conclusion for an essay about climate change. Any tips? I keep ending up with something that feels super generic
 
The trick to how to write a good conclusion for an essay is to think of it as a mirror of your intro, but with your points now proven. Don't just repeat though.
 
For argumentative essays specifically, I've found that restating your thesis but with the weight of your evidence behind it works well. That's basically how to write a conclusion paragraph for an argumentative essay in a nutshell
 
I learned how to write a conclusion for an argumentative essay using the "So what?" test. After summarizing your points, answer why the reader should care about your argument. Makes it more impactful.
 
My English prof told us to use the 3 R's: Restate, Reflect, and Relate (to broader context). Works every time!
 
Anyone else hate when teachers say "don't introduce new ideas in your conclusion" but also want you to "broaden the scope"? Like, make up your mind! 🙄
 
@pitchperfect If you're writing about climate change, maybe end with implications for the future if action isn't taken? That's how to write a conclusion that packs a punch.
 
@pitchperfect When I'm stuck on how to write a conclusion paragraph, I try this structure: 1) Transition phrase, 2) Restate thesis, 3) Summarize main points, 4) End with impact statement or call to action.
 
Another tip for how to write a conclusion: read your intro paragraph and then write your conclusion to create a full circle moment. Feels satisfying for readers.
 
Yo don't overthink it. Sometimes the best conclusions are short and direct. Just don't end with "In conclusion..." That's amateur hour lol
 
Update: Just finished my conclusion and it's WAY better than what I had before. Used the mirror approach with the intro but added the implications angle. Thanks again everyone!!
 
One strategy I like is wrapping up my conclusion with a compelling quote or statistic that reinforces my main argument. For instance, after outlining the impacts of climate change, citing something like, 'NASA reports a 1.18°C rise since 1880,' provides a solid, data-backed finish that leaves the reader with a clear takeaway

@pitchperfect In my experience, the best conclusions mirror your introduction. I always revisit the key points you started with and then tie them together with a strong call-to-action or reflective statement. This approach not only offers a satisfying closure but also encourages further thought from your readers
