In+Conclusion

Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill, well, um...I guess she did something too. I dunno. Bye.**
 * Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

//**Julien L found a great [|website] for us to use. Many of the ideas below are taken from there:
 * //...not much of an ending is it? Pretty much leaves it flat. Yet so many new writers put all of their creative energy into quality speeches that have incredible points, and then end their talk by simply saying "I hope you liked my speech.", effectively tearing the bottom out of the boat. It doesn't work. Don't do it.//**
 * //A lot of writers -- myself included -- find the conclusion to be the toughest part of any piece to write. You really want to tie all of your important pieces together, then leave of with a great point to remember. Let's figure out a way to do this.//**

1. To start your conclusion, restate your thesis statement.** ie. Today I have expressed to you that that our culture should make afternoon naps a daily ritual.

ie. Siestas would make our world leaders more productive. They would actually __increase__ productivity in business, and they would promote a healthy, well-rested society. Further, I feel that a routine 're-charging' of the senses would result in a lower overall stress level in our public. **Go through your rough copy and highlite / hi light / jai-lyte the topic sentences of each paragraph. DO IT __NOW__!**
 * 2. Restate the __main__ points of your speech. These would be the ideas that you put in the main bubbles of your brainstorm.**

ie. With this in mind, I close with a bold request: Take a nap! Put yourself to bed! Close your eyes and say 'Nighty night' to the problems around you. You will emerge refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the world around you. It's pillow time, people! Join me.
 * 3. Finish your conclusion -- and your speech -- with a thought you wish to leave for your audience. This could be a quotation, a memorable philosophy, or a call to action (my personal favourite).**


 * Ok...by following that 3-step formula, I am now able to put the pieces together. It's not too long, but it covers what is needed and allows some __closure__ to your speech:**
