Organizational Strategy:
The following is a basic model of the consensus paper; you should emulate this design in your own paper.
- 1)Introduction.
- 2)Body. What are the two opposed positions of your authors on the issue?
- 3)Conclusion. What is the middle-ground/consensus position?
- Play the role of arbitrator between opposing parties. Establish any common ground upon which the two authors could meet. Upon which core assumptions could the two authors agree?
- Introduce your topic to your reader. What is the issue? Why is it important?
- Present the policy issue as a question at the end of the introduction: “the question, consequently, is whether the government should, or should not, be allowed to collect phone records for all residents of the US.”
- Summarize the articles one by one.
- Clearly articulate the thesis of each article. Then proceed to explain the points that the writer uses to support his/her argument.
