Florida SouthWestern State College Rogerian vs Toulmin Arguments Discussion

Directions

In your original post of approximately 200 words, you will need to describe two rhetorical situations – one appropriate for a Toulmin argument and one appropriate for a Rogerian argument. In other words, describe a rhetorical situation suited for a Toulmin Model of Argument and one for a Rogerian argument.

As a reminder, here is the information requested when describing a rhetorical situation:

1. What is your topic?

2. What would be your genre? (Course assignment, college newspaper, Letter to Editor, etc.)

3. Who is your audience? Be specific.

(Let’s assume your purpose is to persuade since we are discussing argumentation).

Again, do not forget to describe TWO scenarios – one suited for a Toulmin argument and one for a Rogerian argument. Please indicate why you have chosen the argument model to fit the rhetorical situation you have described.
