Then, imagine a few scholars in the field who disagree with your claim are present in the audience. Additionally, during a question and answer session during the conference, consider two scholars countering your papers position. Let your readers know what their arguments are and work to convince the audience that your position is the stronger one or that your solution is the better one. Both sides will have merit, but help your audience understand why your claim is the more logical and reasonable one. 

Create a PowerPoint presentation containing at least six slides that uses words, images, and narration.
Develop two of the strongest scholarly counterarguments against your papers claim (2 slides for each argument).
Convince the audience that their claims are weak, based on the research you conducted (2 slides). Do not demean the opposition, call them names, or directly attack their positions. If your argument is truly the stronger one, it should stand up against fairly presented academic research.

So There should be a 4 page paper with great references as well as a  6 slide Power point arguing the other side of the thesis.
