Toulmin model of argument

ClaimAn assertion that is open to question, or the proposition based on reasoning.DataEvidence or proof you provide to support your claim.WarrantThe link between the data and your claim

•Good speeches have multiple warrants supporting the same claim

Be able to identify the components of Toulmin’s Model of Argument in an example

Claim = the topic sentenceData = supporting material

Look for key words: according to…, furthermore…, x said..., numbers and statistics. Warrant = which justifies your claim

Look for key words: therefore, consequently, thus

Supporting materials

Ethical obligation •To find the best source/info•Cite your source/info•Fairly and accurately present the source

Criteria for sources

• Clear• Verifiable/is it verifiable if personal interview?• Competent/does the source have expertise?• Objective/avoid biases• Relevant/address the key pointsHow about web sources?

Six common fallacies

1. Name calling: unfairly labeling people2. Glittering Generality:

(accept an idea without examining the evidence because it looks so good. Example: Bringing democracy to the Arab world.)

3. Bandwagon technique:(the argument: “do because everybody is doing it”)

Six common fallacies

4. Circular reasoning Uses unproven positions to prove each other(He is unhappy because he drinks. He drinks because he is unhappy.)

5. Either/Or everything is binary (two opposite points), nothing is neutral or has multiple positions. (Example: You are either with me or against me.)

6. Post Hoc ( ergo propter hoc)Fallacy“after this; therefore, because of this.”(I saw a black cat before the test. I failed the test after this.

Because I saw a black cat, I failed the test.)

Problem-Cause-Solution Pattern

1. Establish a problem2. explain the causes3. offer a solution

Cause-effect pattern

1. Dog owners did not clean up after their dogs.2. Dog owners let their dogs barking.3. As a result, dog owners are not popular in Athens, Ohio. (Make sure you do not switch to persuasion!)

Logical Reasons Pattern

1. Present the reasons for the problem Because of …2. Therefore … (build your argument)3. End with most important reason.

Don’t switch to Problem-Cause-Solution Pattern. Logical reasoning does not offer solution

Criteria-Satisfaction Pattern

1. criteria and2. show how your proposal will meet those

criteria
