This week I decided to do my video blog. I apologize if it isn't excellent, but its been a few years since I've had a speech class, and speaking has never really been my thing.

Toulmin Model

This week we are supposed to use the Toulmin model to describe a solution to a problem we have had. The Toulmin model is made up of five parts to help describe a solution. They are a claim, warrant, grounds, backing, and qualifier. It begins with a claim which is the actual solution. It then has a grounds for the claim which are usually facts that the claim is built up from. These grounds are connected to the claim by the warrant which helps show why the grounds have anything to do with the claim. The warrant may have a backing which provides extra information to help support the warrant. Last the claim may have a qualifier which helps tell when the claim is true or how sure it is.

In case the picture is too hard to read(or doesn't show).

Claim: I need to study more for chemistry in order to get an A in the class.

Grounds: I currently have a low B in the class.

Warrant: Studying helps improve my grades.

Backing: When I study I get more practice with problems and get more comfortable with them.

Qualifier: This semester an hour more a day at least 3 times a week.
