Board Notes: Conclusions Defined


Some students had a difficult time understanding the writing prompt that asked students to write their "conclusions" about a topic.   When faced with the unknown, people tend to go with what they know.  So, many students made the mistake of summarizing instead.

These board notes are intended to clarify for the future:

Conclusions = insights, recognition of patterns, lasting impressions, final thoughts


Summary = repeating the information in a smaller form, describing what was already said in brief
