When do we hear people making claims?
Do we question a claim?
What is argument writing?Slide16
Persuasive Writing:
You can select the most favorable evidence
Subjective
Appeal to emotions
“single purpose is to be convincing”
Argumentative Writing:
More objective
Logical appeals
Involves claims, evidence, warrants, backing, and rebuttals
“the heart of critical thinking”
Persuasive vs. ArgumentativeSlide17
Fact
Developing arguments from existing data
Example: Arguing if someone has slipped or was tripped
Judgment
Developing arguments based on judgments or opinions
Example: Arguing for a new school mascot
Policy
Developing arguments that make a case to establish, amend, or eliminate rules, procedures, practices, and projects
Example: Arguing to get rid of the no food policy
Three types of argumentsSlide18

The 5 Elements of Argumentative WritingSlide19
Claims
Definition:
Claims of fact
assert that something is true or not true.
Claims of value
assert that something is good or bad, more or less desirable.
Claims of policy
assert that one course of action is superior to another
Claims should be questioned
Claims need to be backed by evidence
Without data you’re just another opinion
Example:
You should stop smokingElements of ArgumentSlide20
Evidence (Grounds):
Definition:
Facts, documentation, or testimony used to strengthen a claim
Support an argument or reach a conclusion
Good arguments begin with looking at the data that will become the evidence
This gives way to a claim
Steps:
Examine data
Ask questions based on data
Reexamine data
Try to answer the question(s)
Data that supports our answer = Evidence
Example:
80% of those who ingest secondhand smoke from public smokers have a higher risk of getting respiratory problems than smokers themselves
Elements of ArgumentSlide21
Warrants
Definition:
A general rule indicating the relevance of a claim
They may be common sense rules generally accepted as truth, laws, scientific principles or studies, and thoughtfully argued definitions
Example:
Stopping a bad habit can help reduce the
occurrence
of its bad
consequences.

“The Lunchroom Murder
”
On
an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon police heard a shot inside Ernie’s Lunchroom, rushed in, and found the scene.
They identified the body as that of a prominent racketeer named Fannin.
Ernie, who is both the owner and only employee, had only one fact to tell: the murderer had leaned against the wall while firing at point-blank range. The imprint of his hand is in clear view
. The
cash register has just been rung up at $8.75. This is a difficult case. Your investigative team must attempt to determine which of the people in the lunchroom killed Fannin.Slide26

Backing:
Definition:
Support or explain the warrant
Often characterized by the word “because”
Judgment Backing
Extended definitions
Example:
Life expectancy is lengthened if habits bad to one's health are stopped
Elements of ArgumentSlide30
Qualifications:
Definition:
The degree of certainty employed in offering the argument
Arguments deal in probabilities so they must be qualified
Example:
Recent studies show that almost
(qualifier) 80% of those who ingest secondhand smoke from public smokers have a higher risk of getting respiratory problems than smokers themselves
Counter Arguments (Rebuttal):
Definition:
Exceptions to the initial claim
You need to present opposing views to establish credibility
Example:
Although it is not always the case that people who smoke will suffer from lung cancer, the risks are higher for those who smoke routinely
Elements of ArgumentSlide31
"Smoking in Public Places Should be Banned"
Smoking
in public places should be
banned
because it puts other people, especially children and pregnant women, at risk of breathing smoke from
cigarettes
.
Smoking in public places also endangers people who have respiratory
ailments
.
Recent studies show that almost
80
% of those who ingest secondhand smoke from public smokers have a higher risk of getting respiratory problems than smokers
themselves
.
Banning
an act that causes problems to innocent civilians is helpful in many
ways
.
If smoking in public places is banned, we actually reduce or totally eradicate the danger of putting non-smokers at risk of developing lung and heart
problems
.
Moreover, if we ban smoking in public places, we also stop the smokers from further increasing their chances of acquiring health problems for
themselves
.
While
it can be said that not all people who smoke in public areas are always causing harm to others, it remains a fact that smoking per se is a cause of health
problems
.
It is not enough to say that the size of affected people are relatively just a small fraction; plenty or few, one person put at risk is more than
enough
.
It is only the case that smoking in public places, therefore, should be banned
.
