Module 7 Initial Post

I have to make a possible working thesis statement for your argument essay and try out various claims for arguments you could make in your draft of Writing Project 3: Argument.

Start a new thread in this board and respond to the following prompt. Click the Post Reply button to submit your initial post:

• Based on your topic, construct a working thesis statement responding to your class's closed research theme question. (You may end up keeping or modifying this working thesis statement for Writing Project 3: Argument).
• Construct at least 4 different claims (four different "I Says") supporting your working thesis statement, which could in turn be supported by evidence from your readings and research. For the purpose of this exercise, try at least one of each of the claim types outlined in the "Building Your Arguments" slideshow. Label each claim by type.
  • A claim of definition or classification
  • A claim of cause and effect
  • A claim of value
  • A claim of solutions or policies
  • Optional: A claim that is a combination of the claim types above or that is different from the claim types above.
• make one or two of the claims you wrote and make a few notes underneath on the types of evidence you might use to support each claim. As appropriate, note the title and/or author of closed research theme readings, background readings, and/or library research that could be used for support. As best you can, categorize the kind of evidence you found in the source that would best support the claim: facts, statistics, results of a research study, expert opinion, a story of testimony of one's personal experience, a definition, witness observation, etc.

Lastly, reflect on the creation of your four or more claims. You may comment on any or all of the following questions. Explain your answers.

• Which claim was the hardest to come up with, and/or which was the easiest?
• Which claim do you think provides the strongest support for your working thesis statement?
• Which claim do you think would be the most interesting to write on?
• Which claim would require the most new or additional research to support?
• Which claims could be combined to create a more effective claim or a stronger thesis statement?
• Identify one or more specific claims from your list and explain why your readers should care about it.
• Comment on anything else you learned about creating and supporting claims from doing this exercise.
