•Claims of policy are specific
statements on procedures or laws that
need to be modified based on certain
issues or conditions. Most of the time,
claims of policy ask for plans of action to
solve current problems.
•It calls for a specific course of action
and focus on whether a change in
policy or behavior should take place.
•The modal “should,” “ought to,” or
“must.” are present in the sentence.
• CLAIMS OF POLICY
• What should we do?
• How should we act?
• How can we solve this problem?
• What course of action should we
pursue?

strengthened.
• Explanation:

amendments on a specific policy be

• Example:
• Childhood obesity in our country has more than tripled
in the past 30 years. Today, one in six children in our
country is obese. This is unacceptable. As parents, we
try to provide a better future for our children, better
than we’ve ever had. We need to stand up and do
what we can. We can start by supporting the passing
of the anti-junk food bill in schools and other child-
friendly areas.
