I. What Should You Know: Formulate Claims Based On The Following Topics Below
Day 1
LC-5 : Formulate claims of fact, value, and policy
Sub-competencies/Sub-tasks:
1. Define claim
2. Give examples of claim
In literature, a claim is a statement that asserts something to be true. A claim can either be factual or a
judgment. Claims can work on their own or in conjunction with other claims to form a larger argument.
The word claim comes from the Latin word clamare, which means “to cry out, shout.” Thus, the
definition of claim comes from this idea of crying out a proposition, which can then be argued, verified, or
disproved.
Characteristics of a claim:
⮚ A single variable
⮚ Claims are statements NOT questions. (Questions promote discussion with many viewpoints.
Claims usually occur because of that discussion)
⮚ The topic of the argument
⮚ Writer’s stand on a particular issue
Examples of claims:
1. A cell phone with internet access can help learners to continue their studies.
2. Education is important to one’s life.
3. Staying at home is safer in today’s situation.
4. People should be strictly observed social distancing all the time.
5. Face-to-face learning is better than online or distance learning.
Search for the three types of claim, their definition, and examples.

“For example, Mercy killing is immoral. This sentence expresses undesirable action that’s why it is an
example claim of value.”
“Another example, Baguio is a better place to go for summer vacation than Tagaytay. This sentence proves
that this belief is right.”
“Another example, Romance novels are more interesting to read than science fiction. The sentence shows
the goodness of something that’s why it is considered as a claim of value.”
