Additional Point Deductions (Page 2 of 2) Formatting (We use MLA format in this class. For more information on MLA, watch this video.) ISSUE # OF POINTS DEDUCTED Margins are not set at 1 inch -1 Page numbers are not set in the upper right hand -1 corner of each page No space between last name and page number -1 Heading is incorrectly organized -1 Date of heading is incorrectly formatted -1 Essay is not double spaced throughout -2 Title is bold, italic, underlined, the wrong size, the -1 wrong font, all capitals, in quotation marks, or unoriginal Font is not in 12 point Times New Roman, Calibri, or -1 Ariel (in addition, font color and/or style may vary throughout the essay) Works Cited page layout is not properly formatted -3 (lacking double spacing, hanging indent, alphabetization, etc.) Improper Page Length Essays for this course should run 1500-2000 words. Why is going over essay length a problem? Because one of the objectives of ENGL 124 is that the author writes within set parameters. Learning how to narrow an essay’s focus is as important as learning how to broaden that focus. Significantly under 1500 words Significantly over 2000 words -8 -8 Toulmin Essay Assignment Instructions Essay Due Date: Sunday, Week 10 Background: In the Week 8 Discussion Board, you shared your Toulmin outlines. You selected a topic of your own or a topic from the list below, you laid out your claim, evidence, warrant(s), backing, rebuttal, and qualifier(s). Your next step is to expand on each of these ideas to form a cohesive and effective argument that will be difficult for your opposition to argue against. Topics: Two broad topics are available to you. You must choose one, but you have the freedom to narrow or focus that topic as you choose, and narrowing these broad topics is a must. For example, if you choose to write about Health and Wellness, you could focus your paper on a) vegan diets, b) autism spectrum disorders, c) prenatal/postnatal health, d) GMOs, and so on. There are literally THOUSANDS of possibilities. The same is true for the second broad topic. Remember that you will also write your research paper on one of these topics; both papers can be focused on the same topic, but the thesis of each paper needs to be different.   Equality and Democracy Health and Wellness Example: For an example of a Toulmin argument, read “Why is Compromise Now a Dirty Word” by Deborah Tannen on pages 147-149 of EAA. Purpose: The Toulmin method is not just a model for argumentation; it’s a system of sound reasoning. You’ll find this method helpful when you’re in the process of crafting an opinion or trying to make a decision about a given topic. The Toulmin method provides you with the opportunity to craft an opinion and to test it within a structure of logical reasoning. When applied as the structure of an argumentative essay, the Toulmin provides authors with an excellent format that, if followed correctly, makes for an extremely strong argument. Structure: Unlike the rhetorical analysis--which was not composed according to a strict structure--a Toulmin essay is built on deliberate structure. In its most basic iteration, the Toulmin begins with a claim, then moves into support of the claim, followed by respectful discussion of the counterargument, then rebuttal response. You should be familiar with the structure as you crafted a thorough outline for the Toulmin essay in Week 8. As a reminder, your essay should tackle the following: 1. General Topic 2. Claim (Previously identified as your thesis): The position or claim being argued 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Data: Evidence that supports the claim. Warrrants: Explanation of how or why the data supports the claim Backing: Additional logic/reasoning necessary to support the warrant Counterargument: The opposition’s point of view Rebuttal: Response to the counterargument For a Toulmin argument break-down example, visit the Purdue Online Writing Lab. What to Avoid: In the past several weeks of the course, your skills in identifying bias in an argument have strengthened. Now it’s your turn to write an essay that is as free from obvious bias as possible. This includes avoiding the reliance on biased sources (3-5 sources are required for this paper; 2 must come from a library database). Be careful to also avoid writing in a disrespectful tone. Finally, you will want to avoid reliance on logical fallacies. Assessment of Toulmin Essay: Your Toulmin essay will be assessed using the “Toulmin Argument Rubric.” Review this rubric BEFORE you begin your writing process, revisit the rubric mid-way through the process, and again at the end of your process to ensure you’re on the right track.  Also, be sure to follow the following assignment parameters. Assignment Requirements:  Word Requirements: 1500-2000 words  Point of View Requirement: Third Person. o In academic writing, the point of view of choice is third person. THIRD PERSON IS REQUIRED FOR THIS ESSAY AND FOR THE TOULMIN! First or second person essays will receive a reduction in points.  Page Layout: Your paper must be formatted according to MLA standards. o You’ve all passed ENGL 120, so you should be familiar with these standards. If you are not, visit page 463 in EAA.  Your essay MUST CONTAIN between 3-5 sources. o At least two sources must come from a Cuyamaca Library database. Remember, there is a special database format for works cited entries. Be sure you’re using the proper format.  Your paper must contain a works cited page. Use the Purdue OWL as your resource, so your entries are formatted according to MLA’s 2016 guidelines.  Your paper must contain in-text citations. Review the relationship between works cited entries and in-text citations in The Prentice Hall Reader or watch this video.  This paper will be assessed/graded according to the Toulmin Rubric located in the Weekly Assignments Week 8 and Week 10 Folders.  This paper is worth 50 points.  Once you receive feedback from me, you will have the option of revising this paper and submitting it as a component of your final portfolio.
