Example of a conclusion

• I think Ms. Spooner should be remembered
  because she loved chocolate, she had a very
  wicked sense of humor, and she taught the
  students at Burroughs Community School for many
  years.
• Ms. Spooner loved chocolate. It was not
  uncommon for her students to bring her gifts of
  chocolate. She enjoyed all kinds from dark to
  milk. She would sometimes share, but not too
  often. Other teachers often came to her room to
  enjoy chocolate after a long exhausting day.

• Ms. Spooner had a wicked sense of humor. She
  often laughed louder than anyone. She enjoyed
  torturing children, making them color and do
  quality work. She thought it was funny when
  children whined and complained.
• Ms. Spooner taught many years at Burroughs.
  She enjoyed working with students from 3-5
  grades. Most of her time at Burroughs was spent
  teaching 3rd grade. She knew many families from
  school and loved watching small children become
  big kids.
• Ms. Spooner spent her last many years of
  teaching at Burroughs Community School. There
  are many photos of her near the office. Students
  for generations remember her chocolate loving,
  evil, torturing ways. Some students even allowed
  their own children to enjoy the wicked sense of
  humor Ms. Spooner exhibited by having them attend
  her classes. Her evilness was loved by all.
