Toulmin's Model of Argumentation

Use this keynote  presented in class to review basic info. about Toulmin's model.

First, as a small group (or individual), go to this site to do your own exploration of how you might apply Toulmin's to a piece.

Next, it is time to create your own example of Toulmin's model as it might apply to a situation/scenario of interest to you.

Finally, create a pictorial concept representation of Toulmin's model, relating the model and process of argumentation to another systematic activity unrelated to writing/arguing.  Plan it out before drawing, to be sure all parts fit logically.  Make a key on the back or a separate sheet to show what different parts of the picture represent and explain how they function similarly to the aspects of Toulmin's model.
