Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to write a position paper that defends your
position on a controversial issue. Your introduction should present your issue, provide
background, and state the claim you intend to support. According to your text, “[A] claim is, in
fact, a statement of opinion that then must be argued. In argument essays, your thesis states a
clear position or claim, and the body of the essay provides ample support to convince your
reader of your position” (Green and Lawlor Chapter 12). In constructing your claim, strive to
develop audience-based reasons. The body of your argument should summarize and respond
to opposing views as well as present reasons and evidence in support of your own position. You
will need to use at least 4-5 outside sources to supplement the evidence (logos) you may have
in order to create a positive ethos (credibility).
