 8th Grade Writing - Introductions and Conclusions Lesson
- Introduction
- An introduction is a sentence or paragraph in the beginning of a text. It first tells you about, or introduces, the topic.
- Conclusion
- A conclusion is a sentence or paragraph that is the final part of a text. It ends, or concludes, the passage.
Here is some important information about introductions and conclusions.
Introduction:
- Tells what the passage is going to be about
- Says something exciting about the topic
- Gets the reader interested in the topic
- Shows the main idea
Conclusion:
- Wraps up the passage
- Tells about the main idea again, in a few words
- Uses words that show the passage is ending (finally, in conclusion)
- Ties together the beginning of the passage to the end
