SubjectClaims Analysis

This resource is designed to help students differentiate between three main types of claims: claims of fact, claims of policy, and claims of value. It outlines definitions for each claim type, providing explicit examples and annotations to clarify the distinctions. Claims of fact are statements that can be verified or proven with objective data, such as historical climate changes. Claims of value involve subjective judgments regarding worth, morality, or ethics, exemplified by views on renewable energy. Claims of policy suggest specific actions or recommendations, such as providing subsidies for solar panels. The document also includes signal words to assist in identifying each claim type and provides practice statements for students to classify, along with space to note keywords and confidence ratings in their analyses.
