The Toulim Model

I find that the Toulmin Model is a great way to help organize a paper. It helps to break down the topic of a paper from the claims to the supports as well as the warrants, backings, rebuttals, and qualifiers. With the model, it's easier to know what needs to be included in an academic paper. It's helpful to include all of this because it can help make your paper stronger and as to why people should care about what you are writing about. It organizes a paper and helps gives it a so what. With the model it is a lot easier to go back and edit my papers so I can put in what I'm missing. The model is really beneficial. I tend to have a lot of ideas but have no idea how to write them down or even where to start, but with the model it gives me an idea of how the paper should be like. While following the model my papers became more organized.
