1. Name: _____________________
Personal Position Paper Activity
Due Monday/Tuesday Nov. 6/7
Instructions: Write a page-long paper about yourself, structured like a Global
Classrooms Position paper. Make sure you include a thesis and at least 5 linking words.
Underline your thesis and circle the linking words you use. Each paragraph should be 4-
6 sentences long. Write your essay on a clean, separate sheet of paper you can hand
in. (Because this is a long paper, I strongly suggest typing it!!)

free time
