ORKSHEET
In the Units 3 and 4 Discussions, you created a thesis statement that offered a solution to a
problem in your community or workplace. In this unit’s Assignment, you will revise and evaluate
the effectiveness of that thesis using the Toulmin Model.
Part I : First of all, you will revise the provisional thesis statement that you generated in the
previous unit Discussion. Make sure the thesis is concise (1–2 sentences) and includes two parts:
a proposal for solving a problem and a reason that solution is needed. For more on creating
effective persuasive thesis statements, review the following Writing Center resources:
●
“ Give Your Paper Direction: Developing a Strong Thesis Statement ”
●
“ Writing a Thesis for a Persuasive Essay ”
Write your revised two-part thesis statement here, and be sure to include a claim + reason
(the “because” or “since” clause):
What type of claim does this represent?
Part II : Next, describe how you will use the appeals of logos, ethos, and pathos to make your
argument more compelling to your audience . You can review the Writing Center resource on
the appeals here: " The Three Appeals of Argumentative Writing "
