Document Summary
The following material explains how to produce an effective position paper. A template is provided that outlines the major parts of a good position paper. Keep in mind, however, that this is just a guide. Talk to your seminar leaders about their individual expectations. Your seminar leaders may want you to include some criteria that do not appear in this outline. Like a debate, a position paper presents one side of an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and defensible. Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined, your argument should be well developed, and your paper well organized. It is very important to ensure that you are addressing all sides of the issue and presenting it in a manner that is easy for your audience to understand.
