Conclusion

Slide

10 %

Exemplary

The conclusion

solidly echoes the

thesis statement and

main ideas. There is

a sense of a larger

meaning to the

controlling idea and

there is closure on

the topic.

Accomplished

The

conclusion

reaps the main

points, but it

does not

demonstrate

the importance

of the topic so

a final

impression is

not thoroughly

formed.

However,

further

thought is

elicited or next

steps are

suggested.

Developing

The

conclusion

supplies a

brief

summary of

the points

presented.

The

controlling

concept is

mentioned. It

conveys the

last word on

the matter,

which closes

off the topic

without

conveying

further

thought.

Beginning

There is some

indication of a

conclusion, but

there is little effort

to recap the main

points or show the

impact of this topic;

OR there is no

conclusion; it just

ends.
