Demonstrate an understanding of an audience’s beliefs, values, or needs. 3.A Identify and explain claims and evidence within an argument. 4.A Develop a paragraph that includes a claim and evidence supporting the claim. 3.B Identify and describe the overarching thesis of an argument, and any indication it provides of the argument’s structure. 4.B Write a thesis statement that requires proof or defense and that may preview the structure of the argument. Audience Beliefs ● Writers use different strat egies to connect with the audience and their beliefs. ● Writers use rhetoric devices and rhetorical appeals to convince the audience of their claims. ● When writing yo ur own argument, make sure to define who your audience is and who you are speaking to. Take into consideration things like: ○ Age ○ Education ○ How familiar they are with your subject matter ○ Their interest ○ Their values and beliefs Claims ● A claim is essentially an arguable statement. Claims do not simply state an obvious fact, but make a statement that requires a defense or justification. There are 3 main types of claims. ● Claim of Fact: Is something true, or not? Facts can become arguable when they question someone's beliefs or if they are controversial. ● Claim of Value: What is something worth? These claims argue if something is good or bad, wrong or right, or if something is desirable or undesirable. When writing a claim of value, you must state the extent to which something you argue is true. ● Claim of Policy: These claims propose a change to a policy/rule or attitude/perspective. Evidence ● To support and justify a claim, you need evidence. There are various types of evidence you can use to support your claim. Some of these types include: ○ Expert opinion ○ Statistics ○ Pictures/Illustrations ○ Personal experience ○ Testimonies ○ Experiments ● It is important to introduce your evidence. To introduce your evidence, make sure to explain what the context of the evidence is. Here’s an example from one of my own papers ○ The President explains how America’s performance in the world market would be negatively affected, “It would make it more difficult for American goods to compete in foreign markets, mo re difficult to withstand competition from foreign imports, and thus more difficult to improve our balance of payments position, and stem the flow of gold.” ■ With this example, I explain where the evidence is from (President Kennedy), and what the context o f the evidence I’m about to use is (America competing in the world market).The benefits of buying summaries with Stuvia:
