The document outlines three types of claims: fact, value, and policy, emphasizing the importance of evidence in forming persuasive arguments. Claims of fact report or predict situations, claims of value make judgments about morality and aesthetics, while claims of policy advocate for specific actions. It encourages the formulation of examples for each claim type as a practical exercise.

1. FORMULATING
CLAIMS OF FACT,
POLICY AND VALUE.

2. OBJECTIVE
1. Differentiate types of claim.
2. Formulate different types of
claim.

3. •We have learned that evidences are
always the bases of an argument.
•There is no argument if evidences are
not in place. It will be hard for an
individual to write a persuasive essay
if his claims will not be supported by
valid reasons

4. •Nowadays, providing a valid argument is
what we need. We cannot just express our
opinions and not support it with logical
reasons. Knowing how to do the proper
reasoning could be a great tool in
communicating at these times.

5. CLAIM
•A claim is a statement the advocate
believes or is in the process of
evaluating (Herrick, 2016, p. 17).
•At the point that we are forced to
justify a statement, it becomes a claim.

6. CLAIM
•A claim is a single statement; it will never be in a
form of question. It is commonly the topic of an
argument. If you are able to provide claim with
evidences, you can probably win an argument
and if your evidences are valid and reliable, it’s
easy to persuade people.

7. CLAIM
•Just like how we did it earlier, when
you read the claims, you’re somehow
unsure but when the evidences were
provided, then you believe it’s true.

8. THERE ARE THREE TYPES
OF CLAIM NAMELY; FACT,
VALUE AND POLICY.

9. Claims of FACT
• Claims of Fact are statements that report, describe, predict or
make causal claims.
• Causal means the statement has to do with cause and effect
relationship. It also means that the statement has existed, exists
or will exist. It is purely based on how we see things as it is.
Example:
Cell phones pull students away from learning

10. The oldest known disease
in the world is leprosy.

11. I am the president
of the country.
Claim of fact doesn’t need to be true, that’s why it is a
claim. Again, a claim is under the process of
evaluating, that’s the reason why you need to provide
evidences to make it valid and reliable. It is an example
of claim of fact because it simply reports something.

12. Claims of VALUE
•Claims of Value are statements that advance
judgements about morality, beauty, merit or
wisdom. It is usually a judgement on aesthetic and
morality preferences of an individual. It’s a claim out
of what we believe in
Example:
Homosexuality is immoral because
it violates religious standards.

13. Providing students with devices that
they can use in the classroom is
better than allowing them to use
their cell phones in the class.

14. Milk tastes good.

15. Claims of POLICY
• Claims of Policy are statements that indicate an action
must be taken in specific policies. It also urges that an
action be taken or discontinued. Almost always “should” or
“ought to’ or “must” is expressed or implied in the claim.
Students’ cell phones should be collected
by office personnel when they enter
school.

16. Uniforms should be
required in all public
high schools.

17. The national government should
consider changing its way of
treating the problem of the
country.

18. •Claim of Policy is trying to change something. It
asserts that specific plan or course of action should
be instituted as solution to a problem. The speaker
of the claim above might have seen a problem so
he/she proposes for a change that somehow might
be a solution to that specific problem.

19. IDENTIFY THE TYPES OF
CLAIM PRESENTED IN EACH
NUMBER. WRITE THE
ANSWER ON THE SPACE
PROVIDED.
