ENG 115
ASSIGNMENT 3: STANCE ESSAY
Due Week 10 and worth 230 points
Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
•
•
In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to
inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a
position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
•
•
•
•
•
What possible positions/arguments are there?
What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
What are your main points?
What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except
you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources.
You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!

d. Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?

a. Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
b. Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
