Students determine whether sentences are claims or evidence.

Claims

In argumentative text, a claim is a position an author or speaker makes that expresses his or her personal viewpoint. Since someone can disagree with it, a claim is debatable.

Evidence

In order to persuade their readers or listeners to agree with their claim, authors and speakers support it with evidence.

To support their claim, they use:

black_small_square emojidata and statistics,

black_small_square emojiexpert testimony,

black_small_square emojireal-world examples, and

black_small_square emojiuniversally accepted facts.
