Students Teach

So me and my group have been assigned to teach what to do when writing a conclusion. It is suppose to be an easy way to learn in a sense and taught in such a way similar to Freire's so that that it isnt taught as if we were filling containers. We decided to have a cheat sheet for the students and spell out the word conclude and write what each letter stands for. Grant it that this is not the most creative way to teach, but take in consideration that three guys came up with this, to be honest I am suprised my group even accomplished the assignment. We figure its something different rather then reading out of some book, its a visual aid for some students, they would have their own copy (if we copy enough on time) and it relates to what needs to be done when writing a conclusion in an easy way to remmeber it.
Cant change your initial point

Never forget to restate thesis
Creat new meaning for something old
Leave reader with powerful final thought
Utilize moment to fill any holes
Demonstrate solution to problem/question/thought raised
