Reading response

Toulmin argument (also called Toulmin logic). Toulmin argument (and  the terms he's assigned to its parts) will allow you to create the kind  of rigorously supported arguments, in any academic topic, that your  future professors will expect. (Even if they won't be able to verbalize  what they want,—"Where is your warrant, here?"—I guarantee that they  want narrowed, qualified claims and rigorous support exactly as Toulmin  has lined out.)

For Wednesday's post be sure to read Ch. 7 in EAA and answer the following questions:

• What are the basic elements of Toulmin argument? In your own words, describe the understanding you have of each element.
• How do these elements work together to create what I've been  calling "rigorously supported arguments"? In answering this question,  comment on why perhaps, as I have suggested, Toulmin logic is so  important in formal, intellectual, and academic arguments.
