It is what you believe to be true and is often an argument of what you believe should be true, and why.]]> 2022-10-17 00:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/evanjameshenry88/zh4jev1qc97ushtw/wish/2342269693 What makes a claim effective? evanjameshenry88 https://padlet.com/evanjameshenry88/zh4jev1qc97ushtw/wish/2342270447 "Claims are effective when they contain three parts.

  1. They address important, relevant problems. Readers will think that the claim might help them address a problem they care about.
  2. They are contestable. That is, readers will wonder whether the claim is true.
  3. They are debatable. That is, readers will think that the claim can be proved or disproved."

-----------------------
"A claim of fact makes an assertion about something that can be proved or disproved with factual evidence.

Example: Decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from car exhaust, manufacturing processes, fertilizers, and landfills, while slowing deforestation, may help slow the process of global warming.
-----------------------
A claim of value argues that something is good or bad, or that one thing is better than another thing.

Example: Although immunotherapy has produced some good results in fighting cancer, overall it is less effective than chemotherapy.
-----------------------
A claim of policy argues that certain conditions should exist, or that something should or should not be done, in order to solve a problem.

Example: The city’s board of education should institute an honors program not only for high school students, but for elementary and junior high school students as well."

Supporting a claim with pathos:
