A strong conclusion of an argumentative essay should include:

  • A restatement of the claim and key supporting ideas: This reinforces the main argument and reminds the reader of the key points that support it.

It is generally not effective to include new evidence, personal anecdotes, or a list of sources in the conclusion. The goal is to summarize and tie together the ideas presented, leaving the reader with a clear understanding of your position and the implications of your argument.
