Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A tip sheet, the fifth resource in a series of handouts to improve writing, helps scholars craft better conclusions. By reading the sheet, individuals learn the importance of ending a paper properly, strategies for crafting conclusions effectively, and elements to avoid.
