Conclusion generator for essays
Paste your thesis and main points. You'll get a conclusion that restates, synthesises and answers the question every reader asks at the end: so what?
Your result will appear here on index cards you can copy.
Restate, synthesise, "so what?"
- Restate your thesis in new words. Copy-pasting the introduction is the most common conclusion mistake.
- Synthesise: show how your points fit together, instead of listing them again.
- So what? End with why it matters: an implication, recommendation, or question for further research.
Don't
- Introduce new evidence or a new argument.
- Start with "In conclusion" every time; try "Ultimately", "Taken together", or no signpost at all.
- Apologise or undercut your argument ("this is just my opinion").
Questions students ask
How long should a conclusion be?
Roughly the same length as your introduction, about 10% of the essay.
Can I end with a question?
Yes, if it follows from your argument and points to a wider implication, rather than leaving your own thesis open.
Should I restate every point?
Not one by one. Show what the points add up to together; that synthesis is what separates a strong conclusion from a summary.
