  5. Your Turn: Transition • Try writing a transition sentence about the prompt from yesterday • Who was a role model for you and why?

  6. Restate Thesis • Try to restate your thesis in different words and/or deeper thinking. • Thesis: The most memorable moment in my life was the 1987 Minnesota Twins World Series win. • Restate: The Twins victory that day sealed their world title and made my day.

  7. Your Turn: Restate Thesis • Try writing a thesis statement of any kind. • Then, restate it in other words or with deeper meaning.

  8. Types of Final Ideas 1. A statement about the significance of the essay's subject (Why was it important for the reader to know what you just finished explaining?) 2. A call to action • Ex: The fate of Chinese dissidents is still unknown. Action must be taken to spare them from torture and death.

  9. Final Ideas 3. A warning based on the essay's thesis • Example: If efforts to reduce and recycle are not soon put into effect, we will be polluting our own nest beyond habitation. 4. A quotation or story that sums up the essay's point, may be taken from your text or your personal experience, etc.

  10. Final Ideas 5. An image or description that lends a feeling of finality to the essay. 6. A question (based on the essay's point that makes the reader think further about its implications.
