  2. Cornell Notes Topic: Claims EQ: • A claim is an arguable statement made by the author • (arguable: able to be supported or proved with evidence; open to dispute) • A claim will try to persuade others to a certain point of view • Claims can be either explicit or implicit • The main difference between the two is telling and showing

  3. Explicit Claims • Explicit claims use reasoning skills and evidence to back it up. • They are direct and concrete, leaving nothing to be implied. • Looking at them, you know right away what the argument is about and what viewpoint is; the argument is usually written out.

  4. Implicit Claims • Implicit claims are indirect. (not immediate; hinted; roundabout) • They don’t come right out and tell what you should think, but they are hidden and underlying messages. • Most often found in short stories, pictures, personal essays, narratives, and poems.

  5. More on Claims… • An author may make any number of claims in a text. (Main claim + sub-claims) • Claims may appear at any point in an argument. • Central claims are assertions (statements) made by the author that are most significant to his or her overall position.

  6. And more… • Main Claim: authors may state their central claim in the form of a thesis statement, or guided language • (i.e., my argument is, I contend that, my position is clear, or other language that offers direction) • If authors do not explicitly state their central claim, the reader must infer it from sub-claims and evidence in the text. (Implicit claims) • Ask: “What does it all add up to?” “What is the main point that the author is making?”
