  1. English 1 Mrs. Milligan What exactly is “Claim / Data / Warrant” ?

  2. Claim / Data / Warrant: originated in the courtroom • Literary analysis is a kind of ARGUMENT • The writer attempts to convince a reader this his or her conclusions about a text are accurate.

  3. The Three Basic Parts of an Effective Argument Are • Claim • Data • Warrant

  4. Claim: Your answer to a question! • the first sentence of your paragraph • the place where you name the work of literature and the author • a clear, focused, precise opinion that can be proven with concrete details; often it is a response to a question or prompt given by the instructor

  5. Does it accurately name the piece of literature and author? Does it state an opinion? Is it clear and precise? Can it be proven with evidence from the literature? Evaluate a claim sentence

  6. Data: The proof for your claim! • Data is the evidence from the piece of literature that supports or proves the claim. • Data is a quoted passage [or passages] from the literary piece which must be cited in MLA Format. (A.K.A. documented). • You should always have more than one piece of data to prove your claim!

  7. Warrant • The explanation of how and why the data supports or justifies the claim • The analysis and interpretation or reflection about the data in terms of how it supports your claim • A.K.A. What does your data say? And how does it prove your claim? Break it down!

  8. Conclusion Sentence • Always attach a conclusion sentence at the end of your paragraph that lets the reader know you are finished proving your claim • This is best done by RESTATING (not repeating) your claim

  9. Review: Claim/Data/Warrant • Claim = clear, focused sentence which states a provable opinion about a named literary piece • Data = evidence that supports the claim (cited in MLA Format) • Warrant = explanation and analysis of how and why the data proves the claim
