As we start our last unit, we need to review the components of argumentation. For today's class, those components were the claim, evidence, and warrants. Remember, a claim meets this criteria: not obvious, engaging, specific, logical, debatable, and hypotactic. Evidence can be facts, statistics, historical documentation, expert opinion, and person anecdote. Warrants are the analysis, or the connection, between the claim and evidence. In math, it would look something like this: claim + evidence = warrants.
Next week will be the other parts of argumentation.
