Spoonful #41: Transitions that SIGNAL CONCLUSIONS

All good things must come to an end: 2019, a plate of brownies, and my transitions miniseries! To fittingly finish my miniseries, here are TRANSITIONS THAT SIGNAL CONCLUSIONS. 

Here's the list (cue the drum roll): in conclusion, to conclude, in summary, to summarize, to sum up, thus, then, to wrap up, wrapping up, that's a wrap, to top it off, the icing (on the cake), finally, ultimately, in closing

SENTENCE EXAMPLES:

• After much deliberation, the committee was ultimately forced to compromise before the deadline. 
  
  
• School now starts earlier and ends later, so students have to get up earlier and miss some after school activities. To summarize, it’s no wonder students and parents are upset!
  
  
• "That's a wrap!" the director called after the cast and crew finally managed to get the scene right. 
  
  
• The lead actor slipped on the stage, causing a chain reaction of falling actors. To top it off, the curtain wouldn't stay open. 
  
  
• To conclude my post, I wish one and all a very happy holiday!!

Stay warm and safe this holiday season, and remember to treat yourself as well as others. Your readership means the world to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Sincerely,
Laura Fineberg Cooper
