8. POSITION PAPER
A position paper presents an arguable
opinion about an issue. Your goal as the
writer is to convince the audience that
your opinion or stand or claim is valid and
worth listening to.

9. POSITION PAPER
It is important to support your argument or
reason with evidence to ensure the validity
of your claims. The best way to defend your
stand is to provide supporting evidence
which includes the following:

10. Factual
Knowledge
– information
that is verifiable
and agreed
upon by almost
everyone .

11. Statistical
Inferences
- interpretation
and examples of
an accumulation
of facts

12. Informed
Opinion
- opinion
developed
through research
and/or expertise
of the claim

13. Personal
Testimony
– personal
experience
related by a
knowledgeabl
e party.

14. CLAIM & COUNTERCLAIM
In every claim, there is always a
counterclaim. A counterclaim is just
the opposite of a claim. When your
claim says, “I want a new cellphone.”
But then your Mother said, “'No, you
don't.” This is your mom's
counterclaim.

15. CLAIM & COUNTERCLAIM
Counterclaims are also provable
and supportable by reasons and
evidence. Just when your Mother
proves by saying, ’Your current
situation does not require a new
cell phone.’

26. EXPLANATION
This Bible verse tells us that it's important to be
ready to explain why we believe what we do, but
we should do it kindly and respectfully. When we
defend our beliefs, we should do so with love and
understanding, even if others don't agree with us.
It teaches us to stand firm in our faith while also
being considerate of others' perspectives.
