    LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET / GAWAING PAGKATUTO

    Title: Writing a Position Paper


    Grade Level: 12
    Learning Competency: Analyze the arguments used by writers in manifestoes and
    position papers. (Code: CS_EN11/12A-EAPPIIa-d-3)

    Background Information for Learners / Panimula (Susing


    Konsepto)
    In this lesson, you will learn about position papers. A position paper explains
    someone’s opinion on an issue, with reasons and evidence to support their view. For
    example, students might write a position paper about the importance of recycling to
    convince others to reduce waste.
    Position papers usually include: - Introduction – a clear statement about the issue
    and position. - Body – reasons and evidence supporting the position. - Conclusion – a
    summary that reinforces the main argument.
    Example: For the topic “Should students wear uniforms?”, a position paper might
    argue that uniforms help reduce distractions. Evidence could include surveys showing
    students focus better when in uniform.

    Directions / Instructions / Panuto


    1. Read the information provided in the background carefully to
    understand what a position paper is.
    2. Answer the activities based on what you have learned and the examples
    given.
    3. Use clear language and support your answers with reasons when necessary.

    Session 1: Activity – Understanding Position Papers


    1. Identify Arguments
    Choose one of the following topics:
    o Should students have longer breaks during the school day?
    o Should all students learn a second language in school?
    Write down:
    o Your position (Are you for or against it?)
    o Two reasons why you chose this position.
    Example Response:
    o Position: Students should have longer breaks.
    o Reasons:
     Longer breaks give students time to relax and focus better.
     It can reduce stress and improve overall mental health.
    2. Analyze Arguments
    Imagine you are reading a position paper on your chosen topic. Identify what
    makes an argument strong by answering:
    o What type of evidence makes an argument persuasive? (e.g., facts,
    statistics, expert opinions)
    o Why is it important to support your opinion with evidence?

    Session 2: Activity – Creating Arguments


    1. Develop Your Argument
    Write a short position paper (about 5-6 sentences) on the topic “Should students
    be given homework every day?” Include:
    o A clear statement of your position.
    o At least two supporting reasons.
    o A concluding sentence that summarizes your argument.
    2. Reflect on Persuasion
    Think about one time when you tried to convince someone to agree with you
    (like a friend or family member). Answer:
    o What did you say to persuade them?
    o Did you use facts or personal stories?

    Session 3: Activity – Drafting and Reviewing Position Papers


    1. Draft a Position Paper
    Choose a topic important to you, such as:
    o Should students be allowed to use cell phones in class?
    o Should school days start later?
    Write a position paper draft with:
    o An introduction stating your position.
    o Two to three body paragraphs with reasons and evidence supporting your
    stance.
    o A conclusion that reinforces your main points.
    2. Peer Review
    Exchange your draft with a family member or friend. Ask them to read it and
    answer:
    o Is the position clear?
    o Are the reasons convincing?
    o What could be improved?

    Guide Questions

    2. Why is it important to support your arguments with evidence?
    3. How can feedback help improve your position paper?
