This written discussion post is designed to get you to think about making an argument.
In Gunn’s text he wrote about different types of claims (fact, value, and policy). In last week’s module you and your classmates found sources related to the topic of your Critical Issues course. Using one of these sources:
Step 1:
Identify a claim of fact, a claim of value, and a claim of policy in a source from last week’s discussion. You can use the source you used last week, or if you cannot find a claim you can use a source one of your peers provided.
Step 2:
In your post, pick three quotes and explain why each quote functions as a claim of fact, a claim of value, and a claim of policy. Use the format below:
Claim of Fact
State the claim in your own words.
Provide a quotation that contains the claim from the original source.
Explain why this is a claim of fact.
Claim of Value
State the claim in your own words.
Provide a quotation that contains the claim from the original source.
Explain why this is a claim of value.
Claim of Policy
State the claim in your own words.
Provide a quotation that contains the claim from the original source.
Explain why this is a claim of policy.
Be sure that you are supporting your ideas with ideas and concepts from the textbook.
