Position Paper
ENG 1013: Composition II, Arkansas State University
A Position Paper is a common type of academic argument that is written after reading about and
discussing a particular issue in which you should state and defend your position on the issue as well as
to illustrate how your opinion relates to similar or opposing opinions about the same issue. When
writing your essay, remember that your thesis still needs to be both arguable and supported with details
and evidence. Also continue to use transitions, which provide cues for the reader and improve
coherence. We will also introduce the following skills:
•
•
•
•
•
collecting information from readings on a particular issue
positioning one’s claim in relation to other positions on the issue
documenting sources using MLA in-text citations and works cited
choosing an effective organizational strategy
researching the library and Internet for sources
Purpose of the paper: To argue your position on an issue raised in at least two of the articles we have
read, showing how your position relates to those of the authors
Audience: An academic audience that includes the authors of the readings and others interested in the
issue upon which you are focusing.
Strategies:
•
•
•
•
•
Focus on a narrowly defined issue. Use a specific, clearly stated thesis to introduce the focus.
Introduce the issue early in the discussion.
Develop your argument by defending your claim and showing how it relates to the positions of
your sources. Show the positions of the four authors. Use clearly stated reasons and relevant,
effective evidence. Reasons should represent sound logic. Evidence may be drawn from
personal experience, and outside sources such as interviews, surveys, or written sources.
Organize your paper in a way that effectively conveys information to your readers, is easy to
follow, and presents your position in relation to those of the authors.
Document all outside sources (both written and the optional field sources) using MLA in-text
citations and works cited.
Write in a style that is clear, readable, appropriate to audience, and free from distracting errors
in spelling, grammar, and usage.
Content and Audience
To focus your Position Paper, you should consider how your own insights add something new to a
conversation on an issue of cultural, political, or humanitarian significance. That issue may be
happening on our campus, in your hometown, in our nation, or in the larger world. Then, reflect on this
issue, taking notes on perspectives that you feel are missing or on viewpoints that you feel are
incompletely or inaccurately expressed. Even if you are writing about an issue with which you are
already familiar you will want to read several sources pertaining to the issue before you begin writing.
Some questions for you to consider as you read your sources are as follows:
• What voices are missing from the conversation?
• How do your own experiences influence an alternative perspective on the issue?
• Do the writers currently covering this issue or the public, in general, seem to be misinterpreting
or unfairly representing certain points of view?
• Do the writers currently covering this issue or the public seem to be “getting it right,” but still
leaving important perspectives out of the conversation?
As you write and revise your Position Paper, you will integrate relevant research that will allow you to
both support your views and distinguish them from the views of others who have written on the issue.
Be aware that typically, strong Position Papers do not simply take an “either/or” argument, but rather
concentrate on nuances about the issue that may have been missed or underdeveloped. In other words,
powerful Position Papers say something new rather than rehashing the same tired arguments. Finally,
remember that your Position Paper should develop a strong, well-supported argument, and that it
should address the Arkansas State University first-year community—that is, fellow students and
faculty, who are bright, but may have little knowledge of the particular conversation you are entering.
Organization and Format
There are many ways to organize your Position Paper and, as a class, we will analyze sample Position
Papers in order to articulate a general understanding of the conventions of the genre. Considering these
conventions, you will have to decide the best way to arrange your Position Paper to make your
argument clear and persuasive.
Further, to practice the skills necessary for success in Composition II and beyond, you are expected to
engage with outside sources in your piece, using summary, paraphrase, and direct quotation as effective
and appropriate. You are also required to incorporate in-text parenthetical citations and develop an endof-text Works Cited for all sources cited within your paper or consulted in developing your position.
You should read and cite (Works Cited or Works Referenced) no fewer than four recent sources. As
with other essays written in this class, please follow MLA guidelines for citation and format. Your
Position Paper must be no fewer than three full pages, but no more than four.
