• With a Question Closing with a question lets
  your readers make their own predictions, draw
  their own conclusions.
• (Example Is homework really hurting us or

  concepts when they learn them, then they spend
  less time trying to catch up. Homework practice
  helps students succeed.)

  summarize, predict, question, or call for action,
