At the end of this lesson, the students are expected to:
1. Differentiate Types of Claims
2. Formulate examples of different types of claims
3. Realize the importance of identifying explicit and implicit text

CLAIMS
 Are synonymous to belief, argument, assertion, or stand.
 According to (Tiongson 2016, 20-21), a good claim should be argumentative and debatable,
specific and focused, interesting and engaging, and logical.

Classification of Claims
a. Explicit claims - is directly and clearly stated in the text. It is when you can easily
 point out the information in the passage
b. Implicit claims is indirectly expressed in the text and you need to look for clues or
make inferences to understand its meaning.

TYPES OF CLAIMS

A. Claims of Fact
 Claims state something about things in the past, present and future
 Deals with the ideas or claims that can be proven or disproved with the help of factual
evidence
 Basically, debatable yet verifiable
Examples:
Inappropriate claim of fact – a statistic or fact that is not debatable:

“The month of March 2017 was 1.03°C (1.9°F) above the 20th century average—this marked the
first time the monthly temperature departure from average surpassed 1.0°C (1.8°F) in the absence
of an El Niño episode in the tropical Pacific Ocean.” (from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration,
NOAA, https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201713 )

Appropriate claim of fact – makes a claim that is debatable using factual evidence

Decreasing carbon dioxide emissions from car exhaust, manufacturing processes, fertilizers, and
landfills, while slowing deforestation, may help slow the process of global warming.

1. The death penalty does not deter crime

2. Taylor Swift’s Eras tour is the first tour to cross the billion-dollar mark, according to
Pollstar’s 2023 year-end charts.
3. Converting to solar energy can save homeowners money.

B. Claim of Value

 Makes a judgment: expresses approval or disapproval about something;

 Attempts to show that something is wrong or right, moral/ immoral, beautiful or ugly

Examples:

1. It’s better to apply good nutritional choices at home than teach them at school, because
good nutrition then becomes ingrained in the child’s experience.

2. Although immunotherapy has produced some good results in fighting cancer, over all it is
less effective than chemotherapy.

3. Taking vitamins is better than eating fruits and vegetables in terms of boosting our immune
system.

4. Monet’s art is more beautiful than Picasso’s because of its use of soft color, uplifting subject
matter and unique techniques.
 C. Claims of Policy

 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.

 Policy claims to indicates that an action should be carried out either in support or in
opposition of a particular argument.

Examples:

1. 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.

2. Just as smoking ads have been banned in order to decrease the urge to engage in an
unhealthy behavior, soda ads should be banned for the same reason.

3. The city's health department must learn from how other cities successfully address the
concerns COVID-19.

4. The death penalty should be abolished because it does nothing to prevent murder.
