8. Claim Statement

What do I do?

Write a claim statement for your essay topic. Then get it approved by your teacher.

Remember the ingredients:

• Focused and specific

• Takes a side

• In academic language (no I, you, we)

Remember you need to have DIFFERENT reasons and enough evidence to support your reasons.
