Use the following outline to write the value claim essay
_____________________________________________________
_______________
Claim: The Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is essential
because it provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food
budget of needy families, enabling them to buy healthy food
hence able to move towards self-sufficiency. It is considered
one of the most extensive federal nutrition assistance programs.
The benefits provided by the program to the eligible low-
income people and families are done through the Electronic
Benefits Transfer card. The card may be utilized like a debit
card to purchase suitable food in authorized retail food stores.
Moreover, SNAP is also essential because it helps to ensure that
children can receive a fair chance at healthy adulthood, which
the seniors age with dignity while at the same time providing
that families can care for themselves.
Support 1: The importance and impact of the Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) can be seen; the program is quite
crucial because of how it benefits low-income families. By
providing the monthly benefits to these eligible as well as low-
income individuals as well as families to purchase food, the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) plays a
critical as well as a significant role in reducing hunger,
malnutrition, as well as poverty, while at the same time
improving the family security, child as well as adult health and
employment.
Support 2: Provision of monthly benefits to eligible low-income
people is significant catalysis that would enable low-income
individuals to save, invest as well able to meet particular
financial obligations, and their objectives in life. In general
terms, this program is an essential catalyst for the improvement
of lives and development. It helps people get back on their feet
and the road to a better experience. For instance, in 2015, SNAP
lifted about 4.6 million Americans above the poverty line,
including 2 million children and 366,000 seniors. The SNAP
also provides support to America’s economy while at the same
time creating jobs.
Opposing View: Some people have opposing views about the
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The main reasons for
these opposing views are that the program has a limitation
regarding what an individual can purchase and where a person
can shop. Moreover, other claims that the program creates room
for privacy invasion, particularly during the eligibility
screening, the disincentive to work as a result of the income
limits, and the social stigma attached to the benefit. However,
the majority of the views believe that the program is essential
because it helps to meet the needs of individuals who face food
insecurity, among other challenges.
Source 1:
Supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP)
. (2020, September 24). USDA ERS.
https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/food-nutrition-
assistance/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap/
This source is reliable because it provides an overview,
background, economic linkages, and charts about the entire
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Source 2:
What is SNAP?
(n.d.). U.S. Hunger Relief Organization | Feeding America.
https://www.feedingamerica.org/take-action/advocate/federal-
hunger-relief-programs/snap
This source is also relevant because it provides information
about the whole program, including its definition, its
importance, how it works, eligibility, outlines the benefits
under consideration, the application process, and other essential
information about the program.

Instruction:
The Value Claim Essay states whether something is morally
right or morally wrong, fair or unfair, humane or inhumane, just
or unjust, and so on.
Be sure to include reasons that support your position, and
evidence that backs up your reasons.
Also—and this is very important—do not support your position
with facts! The Value Claim takes a value position. Support
your position with stories.
Remember to cite your sources in MLA format: both in-text
citations and a Works Cited section.
Follow the Value Claim Essay Outline. Use topic sentences,
transition words, and supporting details.
Remember it's a college-level essay. Make sure your writing is
free of most grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
Finally, check your word count. You must reach the minimum
required number of words.
Your job is to persuade people to agree with you. That's what an
argument essay does. Go for it!
Required Word Count 1500 words or more references do not
count toward word count
1st paragraph
Introduction
The first sentence in your first paragraph will state your topic
and position. In English class, that's called the thesis. It's the
overall point you're trying to make.
In this class you write argument essays, so we give the thesis
another name. We call it the claim.
The remainder of the first paragraph will summarize the reasons
why your readers should agree with you. Start with your
strongest, best reason. We call those points. Your points support
your claim.
The list of reasons in the first paragraph is called a roadmap or
blueprint. Your reader can follow that guide through the rest of
your essay.
If you want to put something else in your first paragraph, you
can answer the question, "Why is this important?" It's optional,
but you can include one or two sentences that explain why the
topic matters.
2nd paragraph
Reason 1
The first sentence in each paragraph says what the paragraph is
about. That's called a topic sentence or key sentence.
Begin each topic sentence with a word or phrase that tells the
reader you're starting a new point. For example, first, second,
furthermore, in addition to, etc. Those are called transition
words.
The rest of the paragraph contains evidence that backs up your
point. That's called supporting detail. Depending on what you're
writing, supporting detail can include facts, statistics, quotes
from experts, or even stories.
3rd paragraph
Reason 2
The first sentence is the topic sentence. It states the reason.
Start the topic sentence with a transition word or phrase, then
follow with your evidence.
4th paragraph
Reason 3
The first sentence is the topic sentence. It states the reason.
Start the topic sentence with a transition word or phrase, then
follow with your evidence.
And so on…
?
Refute the Opposing View
After the body paragraphs explaining why your reader should
agree with you, include one or two paragraphs describing the
reasons they do not agree with you, and explain why they're
wrong. That's called overcoming objections or refuting the
opposing view.
?
Conclusion
End your essay with a quick summary of the reasons why you're
right.
Works Cited
The Works Cited section comes after the last paragraph of your
essay. In this section, list all the sources you included in your
essay in correct MLA format. List the sources in alphabetical
order based on the first word (or words) in the line.
Make sure each in-text citation matches an entry in Works
Cited.
