- 7How to make the conclusion NOT BE the introduction:Intro: look down at what follows
Conc: Look up at what just said. - 8Conclusion:Allow two sentences that look beyond what you've just said, e.g. extra points that don't fit, ask questions, show thought, e.g. '...what remains....is Shakespear suggesting......?'
- 9AlsoSay 'pride' or 'hubris' rather than arrogance, it sounds more
thought-through. - 10Critics and Soc/Hist contextPut at least one critic and or soc/hist context in.
Alternative readings also help! Squeeze them in if you see how someone else could differently interpret something. - 11Lastly, good luck! Remember: Lear, Lear Oedip Lear, and then Lear (Oedip) PCQA or PCQACQA variations will do the trick! ........................
