IV. Lesson Proper

CRITICAL READING

 Is a process through which a reader identifies and understands arguments and ideas
presented in text, evaluates supporting claims, and responds by developing
independent conclusions or counterarguments.

CLAIMS

 Claims are statements through which an author conveys or defends an idea. In other
words, claim persuades, argues, convinces, proves, or provocatively suggests
something to a reader who may or may not initially agree with you.
e.g. Instagram is owned by Facebook.

There are three types of claims that are usually found in a written text.
1. CLAIMS OF FACTS
o It presents an idea as true or false
o Asserts that the condition has existed, exists or will exist.
o Claims of fact are found in advertisement, books, news reports, and
most reading materials.
E.g.
A. Converting to solar energy can save homeowners money.
B. I made a burrito.
 2. CLAIM OF VALUE
o It presents ideas as good or bad, right or wrong, better or worse.
These claims are often influenced by morals, beliefs, and
preferences.
o Makes a judgment: expresses approval or disapproval about
something; attempts to show that something is wrong or right,
moral/ immoral, beautiful or ugly.
o Statements that advance judgments about morality, beauty, merit, or
wisdom.
E.g.
A. Homosexuality is immoral because it violates religious, societal
and biological standards.

B. Monet’s art is more beautiful than Picasso’s because of its use of

soft color, uplifting subject matter and unique techniques.

C. Safety is more important than freedom.

D. Burritos are better than tacos.

3. CLAIMS OF POLICY

o Present ideas as solutions to problems, usually involving groups,

organizations, or society in general.
o Argues that something should or should not be done, believed,
banned; argues for a course of action.
o Statements that urge that an action be taken or discounted.
E.g.
A. The death penalty should be abolished because it does nothing to
prevent murder.

B. Legislation should be passed to stop the sale of cigarettes.

C. Philippines should make voting in all elections mandatory.

D. The United States Federal Government should significantly
change.

IMPLICIT STATEMENTS

 Claims that are stated explicitly, such as the examples provided above, are relatively easy to
identify.
  Meaning it has been suggested or hinted at but not actually directly stated or expressed.
 For example, saying we had an implicit agreement means that the agreement was implied but
never actually stated or written down.
