An effective claim in an essay should be debatable, meaning it is a statement that can be argued or supported with evidence. It should not be merely a fact that everyone agrees on or an opinion that is too broad to be effectively supported. A debatable claim challenges the reader and lays the foundation for a persuasive argument throughout the essay.
