Welcome to everything you need to know about how a great 10 Ideas piece, all in oneplace! The phrase Policy paper can mean many things to many people. For Roosevelt, aPolicy Paper presents an in-depth report of a policy issue and a comprehensive solution.

So, how do you write a 10 Ideas Piece in the Roosevelt model? At a fundamental level, manyof the resources that weve provided for chapters contribute to the process of building agood policy that works. Here, fundamentally, are the suggested steps to writing policy, andresources to help you get there.

You Need to Think ItWeve built Roosevelt Thinks | Trainings (Thinks | 2040, and Thinks | Vision) to lead groups ina brainstorm that will result in strong people centric ideas that are rooted in the core valuesof the group. Great Ideas are the key, and the trainings are a way to engage in thoughtexercises as a group.

You Need to Workshop ItThere is also a Thinks training (Thinks | Impact) that can take your ideas and distill them downto concrete people-centric policy ideas that take into effect the community topography inwhich they should be built. Good policy has to work, and it should be tested, and be proven,to work for a specific group of people. Our Thinks | Impact trainings will get you there!Thinks Impact is an opportunity to actually workshop ideas. Its not just a thought exercise,its a real step in developing policy.

You Need to Research/Write ItYouve already done those first two steps --thats why you are reading this, and thats why itstime to get down to writing policy. This document should give you everything you need,including a framework, questions to answer, and a format to answer them in. If youvecompleted everything in this document, youve done it policy has happened!

You Need to Print ItMake your idea look nice, presentable and professional. It really helps when it comes time totaking it out in the world. The 10ideas format can be a great way to present your ideas in ashort and concise fashion.

You Need to Pitch ItYou should write out a short treatment, or abstract, of your idea. You can use this for all sortsof out reach to get support for a project: send it to a congressional office, get it in front of achurch leader, or take it to a local business. Essentially, this treatment is based on thedocumentation you would need to submit your idea as one of the 10 ideas for publication.

Some Starting questions to help you out with this process:

Start with some free writing as if you were a reporter trying to record a story. As concisely as

possible, record the Who, What, Where, Why and When of your policy idea.

As you write, make sure you keep asking questions of yourself like:

Whos your Audience?

Is this policy Flexible?

Is this policy Equitable? Is it Fair?

Is this policy Progressive?

Is this policy Cost effective?

Does it support its self through a revenue model, or is there a built in method foraccountability?

What evidence do I have to back up my claim?

Taking the time to think about these questions out will strengthen your policy, and let youknow if your plan is really going to be effective enough to implement.

Roosevelt Institute | Campus NetworkThe Roosevelt Institute | Campus Network, a national student initiative, engages young people in a

unique form of progressive activism that empowers them as leaders and promotes their ideas for

change. Through communication and coordination with political actors and community members,

students identify pressing issues facing their towns, counties and states. Taking advantage of the

unique resources on their college campuses, they engage in policy research and writing and then

connect the fruits of that research to the political process, delivering sound, progressive proposals to

policymakers and advocacy groups. We call our unique model of policy activismT h i n k m p a c t

.

Adding policy to picket signs, Think Impactengages young people in activism fueled by innovative,

student ideas.

The Roosevelt Campus Network is a division of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, an

organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the public legacy of their namesakes for future

generations. You can learn more about them by visiting www.RooseveltInstitute.org.

It is common sense to take a method and try it.If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

But above all, try something.Franklin D. Roosevelt

Top 3 Tips for Writing Anything, for Anyone, Ever

1 . Get to your point .

You want to kick off with a bang, a great hook, something that immediately says, This is important. If

your first words are When in the course of human events, you should reconsiderbecause (a) youre

not Thomas Jefferson, and (b) the title of your paper is Addressing Obesity in Detroit, not TheDeclaration of Independence.

2. Read it out loud.

It sounds silly, but its a critical step. I know youre imagining what this looks like: you, sitting in your

room or a library, muttering to yourself while your roommate or friends or random guy at the next

table, point and ask each other if youve finally fallen off the edge. Reading your words out loud will

help you identify awkward syntax, run-on sentences, redundancies, clich phrases, and dangling

modifiers; once you identify the problems, you can fix them. The result: a first-class self-edit that reads

well and makes sense when presented to others. Congratulationsnow youve written great policy and

prepared yourself for the day when you present your ideas in front of an audience.

3. Cite as you go.

Theres nothing more tedious than formatting citations. Your professor wants MLA style, a journal

wants it in APA style, but your papers look like you used WTF style. Even though its a pain, youll save

a lot of time and energy by keeping track of your citations from the minute you Google your first

article. Why? Because they dont just matter in the last 20 minutes before you turn the paper in.

Keeping track will help you find that great quote that you read in a book you gave back to the library 3

weeks ago. It will let you spend those last 20 minutes polishing your writing instead of frantically

searching for an online article that suddenly disappeared. And of course, it will prevent you from

claiming something that isnt your idea because whether its at the Roosevelt Institute or not, no one

likes a plagiarist. In addition, helpful online tools make citations easy: Use These Tools They

Make Life Easy

Writing Your 10 Ideas Piece: A detailed step-by-step guide.

How do you change the world in 750 words? Theres no one formula, however, the Roosevelt Campus

Network prefers to follow a basic outline. When a policymaker or organization leader flips through our

publications, we want to present our ideas with a standard format that makes them easy to follow and

understand. Each submission must follow the basic format guidelines and contain the componentsdiscussed here. Submissions that lack one or more of the requirements outl ined below

are disqualif ied from consideration.

This section should act as a specific guide to helping you write a 10ideas paper. However, anypublication or whitepaper should essentially conform to this structure, taking into effect thedifferent publishing requirements and desired methods for the information to be displayed.

Breaking Down the Sections:

First Page

Tit le: 4-7 wordsYou should be direct, concise, and engage an audience to want to continue reading yourproposal.

This may seem like an obvious section but there are a few things to watch out for. Titlescan be wordy to the point where they begin to take space away from the text of the actualidea during the layout. The colon is a great way to break an idea down.

1. Closing the Reading Gap: Educating Teachers in Student Home Dialects

2. Preventing Type 2 Diabetes: Afterschool Exercise in High-Risk Areas

The Idea

20-30 wordsThis should be a succinct, one sentence elevator pitch that includes what you propose todo, how your proposal will help solve the issue youre addressing, and what makes youridea unique, innovative, practical, or great. Students often miss the ideally onesentence, for this part. Granted, some ideas require a bit more elaboration, in the formof a second sentence, but a paragraph is not necessary. Here is a range of examples. If

you look at the 10ideas from 2010, youll see a big variation in length, but the generalgoal is to be as concise and clear as possible.

o Example 1: Delete and reword

In order to close the achievement gap between high-income and low-income schooldistricts, Congress should authorize the institution of a new U.S. postal service semi

postal, or fundraising stamp, titled Arts for K-12, thereby making more fundingavailable to improve the access and quality of arts programs. The funds raised persemi postal sold will be distributed by the Department of Education to thirtyhistorically low-performing K-12 school districts in the nation.

This is too long, but it does contain some good information. Consider the versionbelow:


8/17

To close the achievement gap between high and low-income school districts,

Congress should authorize a new U.S. postal service semi postal, or fundraising stamp,for the purpose of improving access to, and quality of school arts programs. The fundsraised per semi postal sold will be distributed by the Department of Education to thirtyhistorically low-performing K-12 school districts in the nation.

This example takes out extraneous red text, and it rewords what is in yellow.

o Example 2: Cut, Ruthlessly.

North Carolina (NC) should adopt prostitution laws that distinguish between the rolesof the accused, with higher penalties for purchasing than for selling, and an ultimategoal of decriminalizing solicitation in favor of harsher penalties for purchase in orderto combat gender-based discrimination increases protections for victims of sextrafficking and exploitation.

Too wordy! What can we remove?

North Carolina should adopt prostitution laws that distinguish among the roles of theaccused, with higher penalties for purchasing than for selling, and increasesprotections for victims of sex trafficking and exploitation.

o A short and concise Idea:

Set up afterschool exercise programs with the goal of reducing the prevalence of type2 diabetes.

The take-away here should be to keep it as short and clear as possible. Reword andget rid of long confusing sentences, unnecessary program titles, any In Order,phrasing, and whatever sounds remotely repetitive.

History 150-200 wordsThe history section is also the introduction of the paper. As the section that introduces theidea, it outlines the background of the issue and potentially, any previous legislationpertaining to its attempted resolution. Most students understand this section; thereforethe main issue is that they will repeat the same information at other points during thepaper. There is a balance in this section in writing for an informed, yet not expert,audience. Be clear and concise, and take the time to spell out something that is notautomatically widely known. Think of this as the baseline information youd need tounderstand the policy, and its also a chance to build the narrative of your piece:

o Where did this idea come from?

o What similar approaches, systems, or institutions have been implemented?

o Is anyone currently implementing your idea?

o Has your idea been implemented somewhere, perhaps on a smaller regional or local scale?

o If your idea has been implemented, what are the results?


9/17

Analysis 150-200 wordsThis is where you want to play out potential outcomes and describe how to implement the policy.

Ideally, your analysis should include numbers, such as a budget projection or a brief cost-benefit

analysis (see below for more information on constructing a CBA). Numbers demonstrates why

your idea is viable from a budget perspective. You wont be able to describe all your research

here, but keep a copy of your references and resources for when an interested party requestsmore information.

Students, especially those without a strong background in economics, can struggle to provide

strong analysis. Numbers are critically important, and the research you do for this section will

prove your policy idea has merit. If youre still at all concerned about this section in a piece for

your journal, reach out to a Senior Fellow and/or your Regional Director. Try and avoid vague

hypothetical terms, cite sources and comparing numbers.

o Why would it cost that much?

o Which people would be affected?

o How many people would be affected?

o What would implementation of your idea cost?

Stakeholders/Audience75-100 words

These are the groups and organizations within your community both potentially affectedby the change you want to make andinvolved in the change-making process. That means

both the audience and the people in power that you will need to get on board. Studentsreally tend to be repetitive between this section and the next stepssection (see below).As a result, this section on stakeholders should separated out only when the sectionintroduces new or complex information.

o Who benefits from your policy proposal?o Who should care about this idea?o Where do you want this idea to be implemented?o At what level?

o What positions of power will be needed to see this?

Next Steps 150-200 wordsThis sections purpose is to provide a clear set of steps moving forward, with specificrecommendations clearly delineated. Ideally there are three distinct steps outlined in this

section, although sometimes students cannot project past one or two. The main concernhere is finding a balance between specifics and not thinking outside the box as to otherkey steps in implementation.

o If someone is interested in implementing your proposal, what should they do next?o Is this proposal presenting an idea that could be implemented immediately?o Is this memo outlining an idea for the future that needs to be more comprehensively

researched and analyzed?o If we act on this idea now, where should this interested individual or group start?o What is the five-step process for implementing this idea?

Key Facts 75-100 wordsKey facts are for the readers. These key facts should be short, bullet-point phrases (not sentences)

that provide the reader with simple, thought-provoking statistics, tailored specifically to the policy

youre proposing (not the general ones that describe that poverty is a great problem, or anything

else that could just as easily be slapped on another proposal). They should appear at the end. Each

key fact should have a citation (they are facts, therefore they should have a source). If youve


10/17

provided key facts that are also in the introduction paragraph(s), then cut them from the intro (but

still reference them when useful to validate the idea). 3-4 key facts are suggested.

Talking PointsTalking points are for anyone that would like to advocate your idea. These talking points should

also be short, bullet-point phrases (not sentences) that can be utilized for anyone hoping to

promote your idea, so write to that effect. Some of these may need citations, but not all ofthem will. Its the elevator pitch. You can both set up the frame for why the idea isimportant or timely, and also articulate how your idea would improve the situation.

o Why is this idea better than all other alternatives on the table?o Why is this a pressing issue that should be addressed immediately?

EndnotesEndnotes provide legitimacy to your piece and must fol low the Chicago-Style c itation

guidelines . Remember, as students the burden of proof will often fall completely (and

sometimes unfairly) on you. Cite well!

A final note on citing:

Students have been known to forgot to cite key facts. Dont let that be you! Chicago Style, for all of

them please!

Also, try and avoid citing think tanks They all have an agenda, and they all skew their numbers. Look

top cite primary research, or reports, or official websites. If you cant find numbers that back up your

policy from a source other then a think-tank, then use that as a final default but that might be

something to consider.

Generally, please take out In order if the sentence begins In order to.

Remember to Always Put the Acronym in Parentheses (APAP) before a date or year: No ChildLeft Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, if it gets used again in the piece.

Do make sure the appropriate court cases or book titles are italicized

Do make sure you spell everything out: things should not be abbreviated unless its an officialtitle

Is this piece compelling and well written?

Do you see any information that simply does not help your point?

Are all the verbs in present tense (that can be), and are they strong action verbs? Please avoid thepassive unless it absolutely works.

Are you being consistent in subject, voice, and tense?

Did students use that, which, who and whom correctly (and other similar pitfalls)?

Use of more sophist icated l i terary techniques can increase your perceived

How does the piece flow?

Did you transition nicely between sections, and is there a clear structure and overview to the piece?

Does this piece have an opening, substantial middle and conclusion that shows a clear way forward?

Consider the style of the writing: clear, concise, and avoiding comma splices.

Do they use sophisticated language to show their capabilities? Parallelism, deliberate repetition,

and so on? Has the student eliminated all deadwood (unnecessary empty descriptors) words from their

paragraphs?

Chicago Manuel of Style: Quick GuideEndnotes provide legitimacy to your piece and must follow the Chicago-Style citation guidelines. Visit

helpful online tools, such as the Chicago Style Quick Guide at http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/.

For your convenience, outlined below is the Quick Guide that you can also access via the URL

provided above.

Proper citations are a bare minimum for submissionslaziness or lack of experience

with citations is not an excuse This is a learning experience, so take heed of the

following guidelines. !

The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems, the humanities style (notes

and bibliography) and the author-date system. Choosing between the two often depends on subject

matter and nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars.

The humanities style is preferred by many in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents

bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. It accommodates a variety of sources,

including esoteric ones less appropriate to the author-date system. Those in the physical, natural, andsocial sciences have long used the more concise author-date system. In this system, sources are briefly

cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by authors last name and date of publication. The short

citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.

Below are some common examples of materials cited in both styles. Each example is given first in

humanities style (a note [N], followed by a bibliographic entry [B]) and then in author-date style (an in-

text citation [T], followed by a reference-list entry [R]). For numerous specific examples, see chapters

16 and 17 of The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.

Online sources that are analogous to print sources (such as articles published in online journals,

magazines, or newspapers) should be cited similarly to their print counterparts but with the addition of

a URL. Some publishers or disciplines may also require an access date. For online or other electronicsources that do not have a direct print counterpart (such as an institutional Web site or a Weblog),

give as much information as you can in addition to the URL. The following examples include some of

the most common types of electronic sources.
