What are the three types of persuasive claims in persuasive speaking? Explain how each one can be applied to a persuasive topic on texting and driving.

What will be an ideal response?


Persuasive topics revolve around three basic questions. Questions of policy refer to persuading for a change to an existing law, plan, or policy or creating a new policy. Questions of value are used when trying to persuade the relative merits—good/bad, moral/immoral—of a position. Questions of fact are used when one person tries to persuade another that something is true or not. For a speech on texting and driving, you could use the following types of claims: Question of policy: “There should be stricter laws against texting while driving.” Question of Value: “Drivers have a moral obligation to create safe driving conditions for everyone on the road.” Question of Fact: “Texting and driving leads to more accidents than any other type of distracted driving.”
