Legend for Figure 7.3 (Toulmin Guide-Business progress report)
1. “Claim – A clear statement denoting the completion date for the formation of a new academic
program. The writer is making a claim that the project will in fact be completed on this date.
2. Support – This is evidence that supports the claim which contends that the program will be up
and running by May 15, 2013.
3. Support – Further evidence that the deadline will be met.
4. Additional Support
5. Warrants – These are the unstated beliefs that the President of the university may have. Clearly,
all college Presidents want their school on the map so that they can be recognized amongst
leading institutions. Warrants are assumption. The writer does not have to be a mind reader, he
just needs to consider the things most important to the President with regard to a new
academic program.

Legend Figure 7.6 (Toulmin Guide – Term Paper)
1. “Claim – writer clearly states what he intends to do.
2. Warrants – The writer is addressing what he thinks his professor feels is most important in
academics. This would be an unstated belief the professor might have.
3. Support – All of the work thus far is evidence that a high-quality paper will be completed. There
is a sure progression toward an intended goal.
4. Additional Support – pointing to a successful completion of the project. Thus the initial Claim
has been supported by strong evidence.
5. Warrants – These are more unstated beliefs that may be held in the mind of the graduate
advisor. All professors worry about quality of a students project. Here, the writer is
acknowledging some weak points, but quickly points out the fact that his skills and background
will deliver a successful paper.”
