What Is Claim?

A claim is what the writer tries to prove in the text by

providing details, explanations, and other types of evidence.
As such, it is usually found in the introduction or in the first
few paragraphs of texts.

A claim is essentially a statement that takes a position and

tries to get the reader to accept it. It's more than just an
observation, and it's different from an opinion.

A claim truly is another way to refer to the central argument

or thesis statement of a text, especially in academic writing.
Example:

Things we should consider in writing a Thesis Statement or

Statements of Claim.

Example:

D. APPLICATION

The class will be divided into 3 groups. Each group has

different activity to be done. Be guided by the rubrics.

GROUP 1- Create a graphic organizer and identify the main Task 4 (Group Work)
point or argument (the claim) and look for sentences or details
in the passage that support the claim.

GROUP 2- Sort the statements into the appropriate

category(Claims or Not a claim).Discuss why certain
statements were categorized as claims or non-claims.
 GROUP 3- Create short role-plays or skits about any scenario
or issues relevant to school, family, or society with a short
script with claims and evidences.

Generalization
Claim is the most important part of the text because it serves
as the central point or main idea that the author is trying to
convey. It is the thesis or argument that the entire text
revolves around, providing direction and focus for the reader

It allows us to understand the main point the author is trying

to make and then evaluate the evidence they use to support
it.
