A Personal Attitude. <\/strong>Unlike many other types of papers, writing a position paper you don\u2019t need to be 100% objective. It\u2019s ok to rely on your own experience and life philosophy.You can start your sentences with phrases like \u201cI think\u201d or \u201cI believe\u201d. However, it\u2019s important to show that you have enough knowledge on the subject to make a valuable conclusion. It\u2019s also nice to include facts and pieces of evidence to support your ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSteps Before Writing a Position Paper<\/h2>\n
Ready to start writing your position paper? Put your pen aside and prepare to make some important steps:<\/p>\n
Choose a Topic<\/h3>\n
Choice of a topic is the most important step of the preparation. Avoid choosing a topic that is based on your personal feelings only. Give a preference to something trending and interesting to a wider range of people.<\/p>\n
The main difficulty is to choose a theme that is popular enough to attract the attention of your audience and, at the same time, is not a banal and too common one. It\u2019s also important to choose a topic that you can find enough information about.<\/p>\n
Analyze a Target Audience<\/h3>\n
If you are asked to present or read your final text in front of a group of people, you shall clearly understand who your listeners or readers are. If you are supposed to write an academic paper, your target audience can be your teachers or a group of students. Understanding who you will present your paper to influence the style of writing, information, and examples you shall use.<\/p>\n
For example, if you present your paper in front of teachers, you can omit some common explanations and include more professional terms and more detailed research. Your teachers are supposed to be acquainted with the topic, so listening some well-known facts will only make them feel bored. If your audience consists of students mostly, you shall make your test simpler and include some additional explanations.<\/p>\n
Collect Information<\/h3>\n
You should not start writing your paper if you don\u2019t have enough knowledge about the topic. Your preparation should include a very accurate and detailed research.<\/p>\n
Be sure you note all important information down. Even if you feel you remember everything well, it\u2019s better to save the information writing notes.<\/p>\n
Make a Plan<\/h3>\n
A detailed plan a the key to making your writing work logical and well-structured. A plan also allows including all necessary information in the correct place.<\/p>\n
Moreover, a plan will help you to come back to the same point where you stopped your writing easily in a case you need to make a break. Any plan for a position paper shall include the main lines: a thesis, an introduction, a body, and a conclusion.<\/p>\n
Position Paper Writing Format (Structure)<\/h2>\n
Structuring your text is a must if you want to make it sound logical and clear. However, it\u2019s twice a must if you a writing an academic paper.<\/p>\n
Before starting to write your academic paper itself, you shall first start by writing a plan and thinking carefully about your position paper format and each component of its plan.<\/p>\n
Thesis<\/h3>\n
What is a thesis? It\u2019s just a short part of your position paper that plays a very great role. It consists of one or two sentences. However, this sentences shall reveal the concept and reflect the topic of your position paper to attract your reader and to make it understandable what the whole writing work is about.<\/p>\n
A thesis may include some shocking facts, figures or even popular or interesting quotes. Such elements make a thesis hooking and stimulate a reader\u2019s desire to continue reading the paper.<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/h3>\n
This part serves for introducing your reader to a topic. Here you can give some concepts and facts that may help readers to understand the whole text. It would also be nice to explain why discussing the topic may be important.<\/p>\n
This part shall be informative, however, it shall not reveal the main information and conclusions that can be made after reading your position paper.<\/p>\n
Body Paragraph<\/h3>\n
This paragraph is the main and the most important, as well as the most valuable and interesting part of your writing. Here you shall include all the facts and statements that prove your idea.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always great to use some illustrative examples, quotes, simple but exciting explanations. You can use sub-paragraphs that will make your text more structured and easier to read and to understand. It\u2019s also nice to use lists and illustrations if it\u2019s allowed.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n
Many students think that conclusion is a short and very concise rewriting of the body paragraph. However, this is not really right. A conclusion may include some key facts mentioned above in your work, but its main aim is revealing and showing the solution to the problem.<\/p>\n
Think about a conclusion that can be made after reading the whole work, about problems it may solve and how it can be used. Many writing experts advise to write a conclusion<\/a> as an answer to those issues or questions that are shown in a thesis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getting a proper academic education or a scientific degree opens great opportunities in life.
