PLEASE BELOW READ CAREFULLY
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 analysis is valid and defensible. Ideas that you are considering need to be carefully examined in choosing a topic, developing your argument, and organizing your essay. Your job is to make an argument and persuade your audience that you have well-founded knowledge of the topic being presented. This is where you use your sources to support your position.
The rest of your sources:
• Peer-reviewed journal articles (academic journals).
• A relevant book source if possible, as one of source
• At least two sources must have been published in 2015 or after.
• One relevant government publication will count as one of the 5 required sources.
• Your research will benefit by checking the bibliographies of the mandatory articles and any sources you are looking at for relevant articles.
• ** Additional sources such as “news” or media (MacLean’s, Windspeaker, Eagle Feather News etc.) are supplementary/additional sources only – they will not count as part of the five sources.
• ** You may quote from Wikipedia, encyclopedias, dictionary sources or news articles/magazines but they will not count as an official source
**Your essay should be an analysis of the research you have gathered, not simply a description or recounting of the sources. Remember to reference via footnote or endnotes and in the bibliography any works that you borrow ideas or quotes from.
• This assignment must be 6 pages minimum – 8 pages maximum, double-spaced in standard 12-size font, Times Roman only, with “Normal” margins.
** Very important: The length requirement does NOT include cover page, footnote spacing or bibliography.
• A good way to check the length of your completed essay is make sure you have saved it and then do a copy/paste of your essay into a new document. In the new document delete the footnote or endnotes, cover page and bibliography. Then check the length.
• Please ensure all pages are numbered (the first one does not have to be).
• COVER PAGE: required with appropriate title, class name, your name, student number, instructor name, and date submitted. Ensure your title is original and emphasizes what resonated with you about your topic.
• All Indigenous Studies essays require the use of Chicago Style referencing. Therefore, both endnotes (or footnotes) and a separate bibliography page is required. Be sure to use Arabic numbering only. If you are unfamiliar with Chicago Style, be sure to consult the recommended Style Guide (or one approved by instructor).
