Answer And Reread

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a reflective exercise for students to evaluate and craft their essay’s concluding statement. It prompts students to answer a series of questions about their essay that focus on the effectiveness of their conclusion, such as whether it synthesizes the main thoughts, demonstrates the importance of the ideas, guides readers to a new perspective, leaves a positive impression, considers broader issues, and provides a significant takeaway. Students are then directed to reread their essay, consider these questions, and write a formal concluding statement that aligns with the goals they’ve confirmed through the exercise.

The worksheet aims to teach students how to write a compelling concluding statement that not only summarizes their essay but also emphasizes its significance and leaves the reader with a lasting impression. It encourages self-assessment and revision, guiding students through the process of ensuring their conclusion fulfills various critical functions of wrapping up an essay. The activity is designed to help students internalize the qualities of a strong conclusion and apply them to their own writing, thereby improving their analytical and compositional skills.
