Although you’ve completed the bulk of your essay and tackled the more difficult body paragraphs, you must still pay attention to your conclusion and make sure that it does not weaken your essay. A good conclusion reinforces your argument and briefly encapsulates how you have proven its validity.

Don’t introduce new information
To be sure, you can offer potential directions for future research in your conclusion, or suggest how your argument opens up an entirely new perspective on the topic. However, try not to introduce entirely new information in support of your thesis. If this information were significant enough to your argument, it should have been included in the body paragraphs. Adding it in the conclusion simply distracts the reader and detracts from the overall impact of your previously focused argument.
Summarize your argument
In your conclusion, you should remind the reader of how effectively you have proven your thesis by briefly summarizing the points made in the preceding body paragraphs. You don’t need to reargue these points, as this has already been completed (we hope!) earlier in your essay. You can simply reiterate these points to demonstrate how they directly address and support your thesis.
Reiterate your thesis
The conclusion is the last impression your reader receives of your essay and your argument. Be sure to reiterate your thesis and make sure it matches the thesis you put forth in your introduction! In addition, don’t simply copy your thesis statement from your introduction. Instead, the thesis should be reworded to reflect the developments made in your essay’s body paragraphs.
