1 Summarize your paper in a few lines on a scrap piece of paper. Include the key points and why they are significant. Your notes can be in bullet form or in short sentences. This will help you focus on what's important about your paper while leaving out unnecessary information.
2 Begin the conclusion with a topic sentence that summarizes your paper. The topic sentence should be catchy and brief but should also relate to the reader what the essay has been about. The point of the conclusion is to remind the reader of your topic, and the topic sentence will frame this paragraph.
