An effective conclusion for a research paper reminds your readers of the strength and impact of your argument. Concluding statements can also help to refocus the reader's attention on the most important points and supporting evidence of your arguments or position that you presented in your research. Conclusions can also serve as a basis for continuing research, creating new ideas to resolve an issue you highlighted in your paper or offering new approaches to a topic.
An effective research paper conclusion:
Stresses the importance of your thesis statement
Gives the research paper a sense of completeness
Leaves a final impression on the reader

The discussion section is one of the final parts of a research paper, in which an author describes, analyzes, and interprets their findings. Your discussion is, in short, the answer to the question “what do my results mean?” The discussion section of the manuscript should come after the methods and results section You explain the significance of those results and tie everything back to the research question. A good discussion section includes analysis of any unexpected findings. This paragraph should begin with a description of the unexpected finding, followed by a brief interpretation as to why you believe it appeared and, if necessary, its possible significance in relation to the overall study.

The body of your paper should be approximately 700-1000 words in length. The body of a research paper is the section that supports the thesis and is the largest part of a research paper; in it you collect and arrange evidence that will persuade the reader of your argument. It should, therefore, have a logical organization and should explain your lenses using your CRE/Line of reasoning. It should also lead the reader into your Methods section. SUBMISSIONS WILL BE DUE ON 12/15 @ the end of your final exam.

Correct Part 1 and submit your corrections.

1) Read your AP Introduction.
2) Open a new document and answer the rubric questions and SUBMIT.
3) Change your Introduction if needed to make sure your it is done correctly.

An introduction is the initial part of a research paper and the part that a reader is likely to read first (at least when focusing deeply and reading it in detail). Hence, definitions, notions, and other information required for understanding the paper are presented/listed here.
Every paper needs context so that readers can understand why you have created it. This is exactly what you can do in your research paper introduction. Of course, this can mean that your introduction is the hardest part of an essay to write first. So, it is essential that you take your time and make sure you get it right. The introduction of writing is going to set out your rationale, which is what research will be based around. Your readers should be able to tell what they are reading right from the beginning and whether it interests them.
It is essential that you make the beginning of your research paper interesting and engage with your readers from the first line (a hook). This will make sure that people continue to read and learn about what you have found out. You should also state a hypothesis and the way you think your work will turn out in conclusion.
