How to write an effective conclusion
Paula HollowayAlso known as putting it all together
What is a conclusion?
A conclusion is a summary of the piece. It is putting the thesis together with the data and warrant and coming up with a conclusion or ending thought.It is a written way to support the original thesis with any endnotes.
So where to start…
Every conclusion begins with a topic sentence. In a conclusion, the topic sentence is the restatement of the thesis.
Our conclusion outline
T = Restate the Thesis
Provide your data
Provide a summary of your data form that that backs up your thesis statement.
Conclusion outline
T=Restate the thesis• Mention the data that supports your thesis
The Warrant
The warrant is how the data supports the thesis, how is this data relevant in supporting the thesis.Discuss issues, problems or errors with the investigation.
The ending
Wrap your conclusion up with an ending statement with something relevant to your topic but that goes out on a different tangent. The ending statement should add relevance to your topic in a different light, in order to keep the audience basically wondering or wanting to hear more.

Example
Studying early for AP exams does indeed lead to better scores. Studies comparing students scores who studied the night before or a month before show that early studiers earn a higher score. These experimental studies scientifically prove that studying earlier does lead to a better score. Now that studying earlier is known to produce better scores, what methods of studying can lead to even better scores is the next question.
