Saint Leo University Building Claims and Arguments Discussion

Practice building claims and arguments based off this question: Should high-school students be required to take online classes before graduation? First, create three claims you could make in response to the question–one of fact, one of value, and one of policy. Then choose one of those claims to take through the From Claim to Draft process. Develop your outline into an essay draft of at least 500 words. NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE 3 CLAIMS, POLICY, FACT AND VALUE, AND THEN PICK ONE OF THEM TO WRITE THE ESSAY, IN MLA FORMAT.

EXAMPLES OF CLAIMS:

Claim of fact: the sun provides solar heat and light.

Claim of policy: we should implement more uses for solar energy due to its long term low cost use.

Claim of value: Solar energy is a great energy source.
