This simple video presentation on position papers for English 88 was prepared for an on-line version of this course held throughout the fall semester of 1999. A few details in the presentation were specifically relevant to that version of the course--but in general the comments about the purpose and format of position papers are pertinent. With Al Filreis in this presentation is Shawn Walker, a poet, Writers House founder, and Penn staff member who has several times been the TA for this course.
