4. STEPHEN TOULMIN

5. British Philosopher

6. Worked at Oxford

7. Wrote: The Uses of Argument

8. Influenced by Ludwig Wittgenstein

9. TOULMIN PARAGRAPHS ALSO KNOWN AS CDW’S AT ITS MOST BASIC, IT HAS THREE PARTS: CLAIM, DATA, & WARRANT REQUIRES “QUOTE WEAVING”

10. BASIC 3-PART CDW/ TOULMIN BASIC 3-PART CDW/ TOULMIN: CLAIM DATA WARRANT CLAIMDATA WARRANT

11. WE WILL START WITH THESE C - D- W

12. And eventually get To 6-part Toulmins CLAIM CLAIM DATA DATA QUALIFIER QUALIFIER QUANTIFIER QUANTIFIER WARRANT WARRANT TRANSITION TRANSITION

13. CLAIM: WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE TRUE: FACT: something is/ was/ will be VALUE: something is good or bad POLICY: something should or should not be done

14. DATA: REASON BEHIND YOUR ARGUMENT : QUOTE: line of text (must be “quote-weaved”) LOGIC: reasoning ANECDOTAL: something you have personally observed

15. CAN I MAKE UP DATA?

17. WARRANT: LINK DATA TO YOUR CLAIM : HARDEST PART OF THE ARGUMENT They explain how/ why your data proves your claim

18. EXAMPLE: YOU DON’T HAVE TO WRITE THIS DOWN. (IT WILL BE POSTED TO THE WEBSITE) (IT WILL BE POSTED TO THE WEBSITE) Claim: After school jobs create a negative experience for teens because they conflict with the essential goal of success In academics. Data: Study time is essential to successful academic performance Warrants: After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job.

19. Did you notice? Logic was used for data

20. Did you notice? The warrant was more than one sentence After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job.

21. Can my warrant be one sentence long?

23. That is the 3-part Toulmin Or C-D-W

24. This is what you will Use at first

25. Unless I have said so, STOP HERE

26. The 6- Part Toulmin

27. TAKE THE BASIC CDW Claim: After school jobs create a negative experience for teens because they conflict with the essential goal of success In academics. Data: Study time is essential to successful academic performance. Warrants: After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job.

28. +QUALIFIERS + QUALIFIERS QUALIFIERS gives context to your claim. Example: The extra time required outside of class to process, practice, and compose will compete with an after school job’s schedule.

29. +QUANTIFIER + QUANTIFIER QUANTIFIER explain how your data supports your claim. Example: This competition will eventually resolve to sacrificing job time or academic time. For that reason, after school jobs clash with objectives of academic success.

31. SO FAR: C: After school jobs create a negative experience for teens because they conflict with the essential goal of success In academics. D: Study time is essential to successful academic performance. W: After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job. QF: The extra time required outside of class to process, practice, and compose will compete with an after school job’s schedule. QN: This competition will eventually resolve to sacrificing job time or academic time. For that reason, after school jobs clash with objectives of academic success.

32. SOUNDS REDUNDANT? C: After school jobs create a negative experience for teens because they conflict with the essential goal of success In academics. D: Study time is essential to successful academic performance. W: After school jobs subtract from essential study time and therefore retract from the overarching goal of academic success. Teens with after school jobs often do not have enough spare time to succeed at both a job and school. For that reason, students’ grades will drop or they will lose their job. QF: The extra time required outside of class to process, practice, and compose will compete with an after school job’s schedule. QN: This competition will eventually resolve to sacrificing job time or academic time. For that reason, after school jobs clash with objectives of academic success.

33. IT WILL AT FIRST UNTIL YOU BECOME MORE SKILLED AT IT

34. +TRANSITION + TRANSITION TRANSITIONS move from one paragraph to the next; they are only used in full-length academic papers. Example: However, there are other after- school activities that compete for academic success.

35. This paper is likely about…

38. CLAIM: In Edgar Allen Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado,” the ending is foreshadowed both by Montresor’s malice and the obviously elaborate scheme that unfolds in the plot.

39. DATA: Montresor reveals the malice he feels towards Fortunato when he says, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” (5).

40. WARRANT: The foreboding sound of “vowed revenge” clearly suggests a deep malice.

41. QUALIFIER: Although we have no idea from the plot what injuries Montresor has experienced, we can tell by this passage that some insult has been exchanged and that Montresor means to repay Fortunato for it as well as “the thousand injuries” he has suffered.

42. QUANTIFIER: The use of the past tense in this opening also allows the malice to foreshadow the ending, since the use of the past tense would suggest that the ending has occurred in actual time before the narrator begins to tell his story.

43. ALL TOGETHER: In Edgar Allen Poe’s “Cask of Amontillado”, the ending is foreshadowed both by Montresor’s malice and the obviously elaborate scheme that unfolds in the plot. Montresor reveals the malice he feels towards Fortunato when he says, “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as best I could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge” (5). Although we have no idea from the plot what injuries Montresor has experienced, we can tell by this passage that some insult has been exchanged and that Montresor means to repay Fortunato for it as well as “the thousand injuries” he has suffered. The foreboding sound of “vowed revenge” clearly suggests a deep malice. However, the use of the past tense in this opening also allows the malice to foreshadow the ending, since the use of the past tense would suggest that the ending has occurred in actual time before the narrator begins to tell his story. Taken together, Montresor’s opening expression of malicious intent phrased in the past tense and the obviously premeditated scheme that unfolds during the plot foreshadow Fortunato’s terrible death at the end of “Cask of Amontillado.”

44. WE HAVE TO DO ALL THAT?

45. FOR ONE PARAGRAPH?
