If that's your topic, find supporting evidence (facts) to back up your claim. so an example of a marijuana policy would be "The production and recreational sales of marijuana should be approved because of the economic benefits" In addition to facts, you'll also need to include emotional appeals. That's because policy claim supports use both the techniques used to support fact claims, but also the techniques used to support value claims. Introduction In the first paragraph, clearly state your claim. After the claim -- which is your thesis -- include a roadmap (or blueprint) of the main points to follow.

Make sure that you include a refutation of opposing arguments. This refutation should come after you have supported your claim.
