    2. Test your claim with 3 questions: What kind of claim will you make? Conceptual (to ask the reader to believe in something) Practical (show them how to do something) Practical claims can also have conceptual claims as part of your argument (make these the first part of your argument and save the practical claim—its application—until the conclusion):

    3. One conceptual claim explains what causes the problem The other explains how doing something will fix it Also be sure to show in your solution: that it is feasible, will cost less to implement than what the problem costs, will not create a bigger problem, and is cheaper or faster than alternatives

    4. Can you state it specifically? Don’t be vague, be specific using Specific language Specific logic (several logical elements) using words like although or even though and because

    5. Will your readers think it is significant? If they accept a claim, how many beliefs must they change Value of upsetting long held beliefs is important
