An effective conclusion restates the topic, restates the key ideas, activates an audience response, and provides closure.

Restating the key ideas is simply repeating keywords.

When providing closure, your goal is to make the audience know when the speech is finished without needing to explicitly tell them.

You should develop the elements of a speech in the same order that you will deliver them.

There are THREE ways to show your credibility based on ABCD model.

Inspirational appeals or challenges are seldom part of effective conclusions.

A famous or vivid quotation is the most inherently interesting type of supporting material.

It is appropriate to use a quotation in your introduction when a past writer or speaker has expressed an opinion on your topic that is more authoritative, comprehensive, or memorable than what you can say.  

Referencing your speech introduction during the conclusion should be avoided because such repetition will not hold the audience’s attention.

Choosing to amuse your audience as your attention-getting strategy can be useful if you need to defuse audience hostility.
