This week was the week before Spring Break which is much needed and a long time coming. In PR writing my assignment for the week was to write a position paper. When I first read that this was the assignment I was genuinely surprised. I did not know position papers were a thing you wrote in the PR world. I guess you learn something new every day. I was excited to write a position paper, and I learned the basics from the video we were told to watch and the lecture. After having learned everything, I believed I was prepared to dive in. My prior knowledge of Tipton Children's Home from past assignments was helpful but researching information on the Oklahoma state-run foster program was harder than anticipated. Finding a reputable source and the information I needed to support my 3 points was time-consuming but required for my paper. Overall, I think the paper went well, and my three counterarguments to my position were viable. My three counterarguments were pairing with a foster family enables a traditional family living, adoption, and full-time care. I quickly was able to refute these arguments and provide support to why Tipton Home was the best option. I think learning how to write a position paper will better equip when I am a PR professional adding to my knowledge on different PR writing pieces. I would still like to do a few more examples of various organizations to gain more experience. I believe this skill set will help me be more efficient in my PR writing. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment and look forward to whats to come after Spring Break.
