1. Now that you've got a complete draft of your essay, have a go (or another go) at your conclusion and intro. Try a paragraph for each.
- Try employing a metaphor for the main point or theme of your essay.
- Tell a story that is vivid and honest to pull a reader in.
- Make an impassioned appeal to your reader to change to do something.
- Summarize what you've told us, but try to use concrete images rather than abstract ideas to do it.
- Paint a vivid picture about what you're talking about.
- Reveal an honest and or startling fact about yourself your reader might be surprised to know.
- Narrate your thinking and how it has changed in the process of writing the paper. Be sure to ask any lingering questions, or any questions that pushed you forward. Describe the places you were in as you pondered these questions.
Try these as both your introductions and conclusions. Sometimes what you thought would be good for one turns out to be great for the other.
