Drafting
Once you have generated ideas using the first three steps, write your first draft. Think of your ideas as raw materials that will begin to take shape from the impetus of your working thesis and outline. Though the product may be imperfect at this stage, you are creating the essential foundation of your paper.
Introductions

Conclusions
A conclusion functions in the exact opposite way that the introduction does. At the top of the triangle, you should restate your thesis statement to begin the conclusion process. As you move through your conclusion, begin to summarize your main points and the arguments that you have made throughout the body of your paper. Your conclusion is meant to do simply that—conclude. Do not introduce new ideas in your conclusion; think of your conclusion as your opportunity to “tie up loose ends” and give your project a sense of finality.
