FIVE (5) TYPES OF ARGUMENT CLAIM THAT
CAN DRIVE YOUR ESSAY
1. Fact: This technique presents the argument, whether
true or false, clearly, and concisely. It asks you to
answer the question with a "Yes" or "No" that
supports the facts.
2. Definition: This technique gives meaning to a concept
that forms the argument through the dictionary
definition of what you are arguing, plus your
interpretation of it.

9. 9
3. Value: this technique gives importance to the value of
your stance. It usually asks you to choose between things,
ideas, beliefs, or actions and explain why you did so.
4. Cause and effect: This technique presents the causes
of the problem in your argument and its effects.
5. Policy: This technique appeals to the reader's emotions
by stirring up the reader’s thinking about why they should
care about your stance and what they should do about it
after reading.

10. Any of the above argument claims can be presented in
three (3) ways, namely:
1. Classical- This is also called Aristotelian. This is
the most popular strategy for making an argument
because it is the simplest line of thinking.
2. Rogerian- This is also called the "common
ground" argument. The writer acknowledges the
opposing side of the argument with the
assumption you and the readers share common
ideas, beliefs, and arguments.

11. 11
3. Toulmin- Present your claim,
present grounds to back up that
claim, and justify that the grounds
are linked to the claim.

12. The key to a good
argumentative essay is
knowing how to structure
your point of view correctly.
