a. Thesis statement—related to the writer’s stand, the thesis statement refers to

the main idea that an essay would like to state about the topic and is proven
throughout the essay.
b. Claim—related to the supporting evidence, a claim is a statement that may
prove the stand or thesis statement to be true with the help of various pieces of
information.

Refer to worked sample.

C. Developing According to Oaks (n.d.) of Lumen Learning, there are three common types of claims.
and These claims can be used in proving the stand or thesis statement of the author to be
Deepening true:

 observations, general knowledge, etc.

b. Claims of Value—these are done through stating the good or bad value of something
or comparing how better it is than others.

c. Claims of Policy—these are done through providing suggestions about what action
should be done or not.

Teacher’s prompts: As a practice, identify the portions or words from the examples that
follow that make them fall under the claim identified.
Examples of claims of fact (adapted from Oaks, n.d.):
- Vaping can cause high blood pressure, lung problems, and insulin resistance.
- Research shows that exposure to violent materials risks the possibility of
developing violent behavior.
Examples of claims of value
- Preserving the environment is important for the well-being of the next generations.
- Respecting people equally is a basic etiquette useful in maintaining a peaceful
society.
Examples of claims of policy (adapted from Oaks, n.d.):
- To make sure that students develop well and become employable, schools must
provide them with more than enough opportunities and resources.
- Increased funding towards solar power will be helpful to the environment and
reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

The claims may also be expressed in the form of quotations or statements from
individuals who are known in the field of the topic being discussed or even through
rewording details from sources. When the rewording is equal or longer than the original, it
is called a paraphrase or a summary if it is shorter.

Hunting and fishing: Leisure to humans but fatal to nature

"Hunting and fishing can hurt nature. When people hunt too much or fish too often, it can
make some animals become fewer in number. These are often the older animals that can
have babies. These activities can upset the balance of nature. Also, when fewer animals
are around, other animals might increase in terms of population because they have fewer
competition for food. Over time, this might even change how animals evolve. So, hunting
and fishing can really harm nature."
