Sure! Here's the matching of the explanations to the correct closing statement types:
-
Bookend the introduction
- Link the last paragraph back to the beginning by referring to keywords, metaphors, questions, or other ideas from the introduction.
-
Rephrase the thesis statement while adding more insight based on the evidence in the text.
- Draw from an expert.
-
Make a strong statement
- Suggest further possibilities or a larger meaning of the topic. Ask yourself; How does this have a wider impact? What does it mean for the future?
-
Call to action
- Give a challenge or command to readers. This could be asking the reader to take an action or to think from a specific viewpoint.
-
Contextualize the topic
- Share a relevant quote or statistic from an outside source that reinforces or adds insight on the topic.
