I had to have Evidence to back up my claim and than I had to explain the evidence.

 What we learned about was Logos, Ethos, Pathos. Logos means to to appeal to the audiences' sense of reason or logic, Ethos is a rhetorical or written technique that appeals to an audience or reader's ethics. Pathos is the appeal to emotion, means to persuade an audience by purposely evoking certain emotions to make them feel the way the author wants them to feel.

 We learned that an argument is a statement of opinion backed up by evidence. This is an argument composed of three distinct components: the speaker, the purpose, and the reason. A rhetorical triangle consists of Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. A claim is an opinion and a topic. A claim can be a claim of fact, a claim of value, or a claim of policy
