TOULMIN PARAGRAPHS

(NEW HEADING)

SHOULD I TAKE NOTES?

STEPHEN TOULMIN

British Philosopher

Worked at Oxford

Wrote: The Uses of Argument

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

BASIC 3-PART CDW/ TOULMIN:•CLAIM•DATA•WARRANT

CLAIM DATA

WARRANT

CLAIM:WHAT YOU CLAIM TO BE TRUE:

FACT: something is/ was/ will beVALUE: something is good or badPOLICY: something should or should not be done

DATA:REASON BEHIND YOUR ARGUMENT:

QUOTE: line of text (must be “quote-weaved”) LOGIC: reasoningANECDOTAL: something you have personally observed

CAN I MAKE UP DATA?

WARRANT:LINK DATA TO YOUR CLAIM:

HARDEST PART OF THE ARGUMENTThey explain how/ why your data proves your claim

EXAMPLE

A change to the school bike policy could save lives and prevent brain damage. Bike helmets reduce the risk of head injuries if someone falls. Hundreds of children die each year from bike accidents. Making kids wear helmets, means they won’t get hurt as bad if they fall. Because they won’t get hurt as bad, you could save their life.

WHERE IS THE CLAIM? DATA? WARRANT?

Did you notice?

Logic was used for data

Another reason the school should change its policy is to put an end to student’s worries over how he or she looks. I remember being worried about others making fun of me for wearing a helmet. If everyone was wearing helmet, I wouldn’t have worried though. If everybody has to wear one, kids will stop teasing each other.
