Outline of a Position Essay

Below is a very general skeleton of what you should aim for in this argumentative essay:

Introduction (Remember, every essay should have some type of introduction) [1 to 3 Paragraphs]

• Your objective in this introduction is to grab your reader’s attention. In other words, encourage them to want to read your e ssay.

Please refer to the writing mu ltiple leads handout.

• You should provide the historical significance of the debate.

• You should establish the context for your position by clearly defining the debate / conflict. Consider who is negatively impacted by

this problem.

• You should allude to the values or principles that form the basis of your position.

• Also, you should establish that there are different sides to this debate.

• Of course, you should establish your claim —STATE YOUR POSITION!

Body (Remember, I hate teaching formulaic writing, so I will give you a general outline of how one of your main points / grounds m ight be

argued. ) [4 to 6 Paragraphs]

Main Point / Ground (What you do for this ground should be done for each ground you establish):

• You should be prepared to establish a ground and explain to your reader the significance of this ground as it relates to your claim

(posi tion).

• You should be prepared to provide details (i.e., logical reasoning, evidence, data, and/or scholarship) to support the assert ions you

make in each ground.

• You should use your research —those secondary sources —for better backing.

Conclusion [1 to 2 Paragraphs]

• Bring closure to your discussion.

• You might offer an alternative way to view your issue.

• You might reiterate what is wrong with your opponent’s position and what is right about yours.

Opposition’s Perspective

Because there are several ways you can introduce the opposition’s perspective in your essay, I will simply remind you to present the other

side somewhere in your essay. It’s very important that you discuss what your opponent says about the issue. Now, you can do t his in each

ground section, you can present your opponent’s side in one paragraph after the introduction and proceed to argue your claim based on

your grounds, or you can present your opponent’s side near the end of your essay and provide a rebuttal and closing remarks i n your

concl usion section.

Again, please include a Works Cited section at the end of the paper.Submission:
