Description

This learning resource focuses on the Toulmin Model of argumentation, which is a structured approach to developing logical arguments. The document begins with a warm-up reflection activity where learners think about persuasive experiences. It proceeds to define key components of an argument, including Claim, Data, Warrant, and Impact, alongside examples. Learners are guided to construct an argument for or against a specific proposition, utilizing the Toulmin Model and considering the importance of impact in debate. The resource also includes a self-assessment section to reflect on their argument's clarity and effectiveness.
