which side you really believe in.

completely compared to before.

Example:
Statement:
Reflective writing can help students become better thinkers. It can help students see that ideas are meant to be
discussed and debated. Bridges and Jost found that students who did weekly reflective journal writing about their course
content for a semester could analyze course concepts at a deeper level than those who didn’t.
Explanation:
• In this case, the sentence "Reflective writing can help students become better thinkers" is the claim.
• The claim is expanded upon in the next sentence, "It can help students see that ideas are meant to be discussed
and debated." Finally, evidencee is presented, often in the form of a citation.
• Here, we read that "Bridges and Jost found that students who did weekly reflective journal writing about their
course content for a semester could analyze course concepts at a deeper level than those who didn't."
• This evidence supports the originally presented claim and its expansion.

Identifying Arguments in Manifesto

Examples:
The use of racially abusive language on television and radio is an are of increasing concern among viewers and
listeners, a new study has revealed(claim). The report also suggests most of adults with children want their homes to
expletive free (supporting claim). Stephen Whittle, Director of the Broadcasting Standards Commission in England, says
that there is an acceptance that swearing and offensive language is used in daily life, and may be appropriate if a
program is aimed at adults (evidence).

The use of bad language in TV or cinema is not a reflection of society, but rather an excuse by writers and actors to
hide the facts that they can no longer produce real drama or real emotion (claim). The use of swearing is to emphasize
a point is only there to mask the lack of understanding and talent (supporting claim). Media twenty years ago didn’t
need to use bad language—the skill in presenting drama and emotions was there (evidence).
