claim- to state that something is true justify- to prove that a claim is reasonable evidence- information used to support or

(B) Key Ideas

1. Claims about just your experience don’t require evidence.“I enjoy eating broccoli” does not require evidence.

2. Truth claims require evidence. “Broccoli is healthy” requires evidence.

3. “Because” tells us that the speaker is making a truth claim about a cause and effect. It does not always mean evidence is present. “Broccoli is healthy because it helps prevent heart disease.” requires evidence.

(M) How do you know if a claim needs

evidence? Does the statement claim to be . . .

. . . true for just the speaker? (no evidence needed)

or . . . true for everyone? (evidence needed)

I like the taste of hot chips. (m)

Hot chips are unhealthy because they contain harmful ingredients. (m)

(M)Hot chips are unhealthy because they

contain harmful ingredients, such as saturated fats and sodium, which in high volume have been linked with high blood pressure and even diabetes. The American Diabetes Association suggests the following: “to lower you risk of heart disease, try to eat less of the unhealthy fats – saturated and trans fat.” Additionally, “decreasing the amount of sodium in the diet can help many people lower their blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure also means you are decreasing your risk for heart attack or stroke, both of which are common diabetes complications” (from diabetes.org).

(B) I enjoy reading because it helps

me become a better person. I get pulled into the story and fall in love with the characters. They become my friends, my enemies, my mentors. I learn from them, and I learn with them. It all comes down to this: because I enjoy learning, I enjoy reading. Reading makes you a better person.

(M)I enjoy reading, and I have from

a young age. A feeling comes over me when I’m swept up into a text that is even better than a great movie. I feel passive in movies; I just sit back and enjoy, but when I get into a good book, I lean in and interact with the characters.

(S)I’ve always enjoyed reading partially

because I thought it helped me become a better person by forcing me to consider perspectives that are very different than mine. Apparently, I’m not alone; three psychologists from the University of Toronto recently published results of a study that support this idea of mine: “Exposure to literature,” the researchers write in the Creativity Research Journal, “may offer a (way for people) to become more likely to open their minds.” Their study showed that individuals who read complex texts were better prepared for complex events in the real world because they had more exposure to the confusion one experiences in the face of complexity.

A claim1 or a 2 depending on which claim lacks the evidence.

Round Two: Which claim needs evidence?

1. Miss Emma and Tante Lou are overweight because they are both described as really large in the first chapter.

Round Two: Which claim needs evidence?

1. Jefferson was a thief because he tried to steal money from Mr. Grope; when he was caught “he had money stuffed inside his jacket pocket” (6).

2. Jefferson was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. He had no intention of harming anyone, so his sentencing is really unfair; maybe he should get in trouble for stealing, but nobody gets the death penalty for stealing a few dollars and some whiskey.

A: 2
