prof. instructions:
Now that you have completed the Research Plan and the Stasis Model we will begin the process of testing our argument and gathering more information specifically to support our position. Make sure that you gather good credible information and that you cite your sources in the body of the outline. Please consult the examples folder if you have questions or you may contact me any time.
Toulmin Schema Worksheet
In English 2010 we use the Toulmin Schema to test our arguments and to develop a detailed outline of our Persuasive Research papers. One of the reasons it is useful in this process is that it focuses primarily on what we can validate with research orlogic(logos)instead of relying on the emotional responses that often limit our research and discussion about many topics. We can then add appeals toemotion(pathos) that are useful to our specific audience as we prepare to write the essay. The following version of Toulmin is tailored specifically to English 2010 and designed to test the working thesis sentence developed in the policy proposal portion of the Stasis Model.
Claim:This should be the first part of your newly developed working thesis sentence
Reasons:This are the because clauses of your working thesis statement
Assumptions:What assumptions do you have about the topic and why? What points of agreement (values) do you and your audience share? According to your research what are the presumed assumptions your audience has about the topic and why?
Backing:Think of this as a place to list the evidence both personal and researched which supports your claim and reasons. This will be the longest portion of the essay.
(Personal/Brainstorming)
(Cited Research)
Conditions of Rebuttal:What are other people saying about your topic? How will they attack your position? What are their strongest points? Be sure to explore each point in detail gathering source information to fully understand why people hold that position and to more fully evaluate the counterargument.
Qualifier:Revised thesis statement based on the conditions of rebuttal. What can you still realistically argue? Are there ways to adjust your thesis to include some ideas from the rebuttals or a way to counter them by changing the thesis?
