close..."as I close" or "to summarize"
-
recap main points...how should
audience respond? what do we do now?

final thought or memorable
statement...quotes, verses, poems, etc...keep it concise--long passages are
difficult to remember

plant at least three questions
in the audience |

be personable...call on people by

be polite..."thank you"
or "that's a good question" |

another final thought to wrap up
everything...again, keep it concise |
Time

stay within 30 seconds of the
length |

as you rehearse, remember to
time yourself |
