Grade 6 · Writing · Lesson 6

Compose introductions and conclusions that frame a claim

The introduction and conclusion are the frame of your argument essay. The introduction opens with a hook that grabs the reader\'s attention, provides background context, and ends with a clear thesis. The conclusion closes the frame by restating the thesis in new words, summarizing your key reasons, and broadening out to a call to action or a wider implication.
