Position Paper Outline
Forum Objective: Create
an outline for your Week 5 position paper.
In week 5, you will be
submitting a position paper. In this forum, create and post your outline,
concept map, or other visual representation for that essay. Then provide
feedback to your peers about their outlines.
Step 1: Read the
article “Critical Reading Practices,” which is linked here. The author provides
good advice on how to identify a good thesis and recognize a strong
argument. The tips here will help you as
you assess your peers’ outlines in this forum, as well as help you build a
strong thesis and outline for your position paper.
Step 2: Post the outline of your week 5 position
paper. To receive full credit, the
outline must contain the following:
• Three part thesis statement,
• Topic sentences, and
• Supporting points for each topic
sentence.
Remember your thesis
statement should be a single complete sentence, not a question. Your paragraphs
should support that thesis statement. Your purpose in the essay is to persuade.
Please do not make your
initial post as an attachment or link. I
may process the forum in Turnitin and attachments cannot be processed.
Responses to Other
Students
When responding to your
peers’ outlines, consider these questions and suggestions.
• What questions do you have after seeing
their outline/mind map?
• Using the critical reading strategies
in the article above, determine the strengths of the outline as well as areas
for improvement.
• Is there a strong and well-worded
thesis statement?
• How do the body paragraphs support the
thesis statement?
• Pose questions to help your peers
strengthen their position.
• Play devil’s advocate to help them
defend their position.
• Offer possible supporting points or
research if you know anything that might help.
