Grade 6 · Writing · Lesson 15

Write a reflective end that shows growth

A reflective ending does more than finish a story — it tells the reader what the experience meant. Instead of simply describing what happened last, you reveal how you have changed, what you now understand differently, or what the experience taught you about yourself or the world.

2Distinguish between a weak ending that simply stops and a strong ending that shows change
