We’ve discussed the Toulmin outline and how it can be used to analyze arguments. However, it can also help in creating arguments by allowing a writer to develop an organization that allows that writer to see the patterns in the information being synthesized.

For example:

DATA: Kids can play with droppings, not wash their hands

DATA: People can slip on fresh leavings.

COUNTERARGUMENT: Picking up droppings is hard work for the squeamish.

REBUTTAL: We humans do lots of unsavory things, including excretions and we clean up after ourselves and dependent parties.

COUNTERARGUMENT: Feces is biodegradable—the plastic bags used to throw out feces are not.

REBUTTAL: There are bridgeable bags for droppings for the ecologically careful.
