A stance essay takes a position on a topic “Finding childcare” 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.
