The document discusses identifying different types of claims in written texts. It defines a claim as an assertion that could be contradicted. It then describes three types of claims: claims of fact, which assert something is true in the past, present or future; claims of value, which make personal judgments about what is good or bad; and claims of policy, which suggest courses of action and use language like "should" or "must". An example given is a claim of policy that cyberbullying is increasing, so parents should monitor their children's online activities.
