Text as Topos: Using the Toulmin Model of Argumentation in Introduction to Literature.
Jolliff, William
Teaching English in the Two-Year College, v25 n2 p151-58 May 1998
Describes how one teacher adapted the Toulmin argumentation model to improve discussion in introductory literature classes. Describes the method and its application to literary texts. Shows how it enables students with no particular attraction to literature to invent and respond to arguments about a text, ground those arguments in the text, and warrant them to their classmates' satisfaction.
