While there are multiple theories about how to structure an argument, for the purposes of this module the structure of the Toulmin method will be used. Stephen Toulmin was a British philosopher who wrote about writing in his work, The Uses of Argument, written in 1958 to “describe the way that ordinary people make reasonable arguments” (Lunsford, Ruszkiewicz & Walters, 2013, p. 131). Over time, “Toulmin logic has become a powerful and, for the most part, practical tool for understanding and shaping arguments in the real world” (Lunsford et al., 2013, p. 132). This makes Toulmin’s work ideal for activities for teachers in the everyday classroom because it allows students to access the process in an easier way, and to realize that they know more than they think and simply need to put it on paper. However, “his method isn’t as airtight as formal logic that uses syllogism,” based on Aristotle’s methods, so this method should not be considered as the only way to teach the process (Lunsford et al., 2013, p. 132). This is simply a resource based in a proven theory, and may be adjusted for teachers who prefer another, more formal way to teach argument.
