statement, which is a sentence that states
your opinion and summarizes your key
supporting evidence.

Using your thesis statement and notes,


create an outline of your argument. While
some people use sentence fragments in their
outlines, others create sentence outlines with
topic statements, evidence and conclusions
for each section of their research paper.
6.Write a Draft on your paper

Create a draft of your position paper by


following the outline and filling it in with
research and content. Remember to use
appeals to the readers' logic and emotions
when writing an argument because these are
powerful methods of persuasion.
7. Review and create the final draft

Review your draft and make spelling and


grammar corrections to create a final draft of
your position paper. It can be helpful to have
another person proofread and make
suggestions for improvement.
