This is the first of two (2) position papers based on the following scenario to be completed in this course. Imagine that you are running for a state office (e.g., governor, senator, or representative) and you have to prepare a position paper for a debate on controversial issues in the news. (Select one (1) of the topics addressed in the first four weeks of this class.) You will want your position paper to demonstrate critical thinking, sound logic, valid claims, personal passion, and credible support that is cited correctly because the paper will be provided to the news media before the debate and will be scrutinized by the media and reported on regarding these criteria. Your professor will serve as your close advisor whose job is to review the paper and provide feedback to you on the paper’s strengths and weaknesses. Note: If your score is below 90%, you will have the opportunity to revise the paper. This is an option and is not required. Your score could possibly be improved by up to 10%, not to exceed a final score of 90%; but, your score cannot be reduced. Revisions are due by Week 8. Write a two to three (2-3) page (700 to 1,200 words) paper in which you: Introduce your position using a thesis statement in the first paragraph, including a quote, question, or statistic from your reliable sources and an overview of the main points you will cover. (It’s important to grab the audience’s interest and inform the audience of what the main and support points are.) Provide two or three (2-3) major points to support your thesis statement. (Put each major point in a separate paragraph.) Provide one (1) paragraph in which you identify and answer an expected argument against your view. Organize arguments and support your claims effectively. Demonstrate personal passion for your position and critical thinking with persuasive language, sound logic, valid claims, and credible support for the claims. Provide two to three (2-3) credible and reliable references (in addition to the textbook) about current events, which have been published in the last five (5) years and are cited correctly in the position paper. (Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.)

I attached my work but it need rephrase, check grammar and organize them Over the course of the semester, you have experienced an individual journey in this class. Specifically, your in-class participation and engagement might have been a critical component to your journey. In this assignment, I would like you to evaluate yourself regarding your participation and engagement during the class periods. You may write up to 2 pages regarding your in-class participation and engagement only (NOTE: you have already earned credit for your participation points through the discussion posts). To begin this assignment, identify the score that you would assign to yourself for in-class participation (out of 20 points). Then, justify the reason for assigning this score. In your justification, consider your growth process and the following questions while writing your paragraph:How would you describe your level of engagement at different points in the class (beginning, middle, and end)?What personal challenges regarding participation/engagement did you identify for yourself in the first 2-3 weeks of class?What were areas of challenge regarding your participation/engagement (e.g. unsure of what to say, not wanting to offend others, too talkative, not listening)?How did you reconcile your participation/engagement challenges as the course progressed?

Please respond to 2 students APA style, considering your previous post. Just remember the previous weeks discussions responses.
