Rome Paragraph
We're going to look at warrants today. The purpose of a warrant it to explain how the evidence proves the claim. There are two main types of warrants: implicit and explicit.
Explicit Warrants
Explicit warrants directly tell the reader how the evidence supports the claim. Example:
Today has not started well for me (Claim). This morning after falling our of bed and hitting my head my sister pantsed me at the bus stop (Evidence). It is bad enough to hit your head because it hurts, but it is worse to be embarrassed in front of all your fiends at the bus stop. Both of these things happened to me this morning and morning is how you start your day. Therefore, this day has certainly not started well (Warrant).
Implicit Warrants
Implicit warrants imply (not state directly) how your evidence supports your claim. This technique can be used when your evidence so clearly supports your claim that to include a separate warrant would be redundant. Example:
Today's been a really bad day for me. First my dog woke me up by throwing up all over my head. Next, every pair of socks I tried on ripped. Finally, I missed my bus and had to walk all the way to school in the rain. What a sucky day.
Today, we are going to look at explicit warrants. We'll be working on the document you've downloaded (see top of page). For each paragraph, mark the claim in green, any evidence in blue and any warrant language in red. Note that warrants can be throughout a paragraph and sometimes be parts of sentences.
