Description
Research Position Paper Directions & Requirements
- You will be assigned a controversial topic from Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context library database.
- To access the library, go HERE. Next, go to the Databases tab, type “Opposing Viewpoints,” and select the only available option.
- As noted below, you have two topic options: 1) the same as your toulmin model topic or 2) the other option in the box.
- Take a position; remember, do not present pros and cons and leave the reader to decide–instead, take a position and persuade your reader.
- Acknowledge opposing viewpoints in your paper . . . this always makes for a stronger argument. Use the Toulmin Model approach to do this.
