Your task for this exercise is to take the topic that you have a strong opinion on and used in Assignment 1 and do some further online research about this topic. Gather information for both sides of this argument - both facts that support your point of view and facts that support a counter-argument.

Next, you will organize this information into a logical argument using the Toulmin Method. You don’t have to put all of the information that you find in your online research into this small exercise; simply take one assertion and present the facts to support it along with a counter-argument and rebuttal. You should find that following this structure should almost always create a convincing argument, as long as the facts are strong enough and the reasoning solid! Your argument can be as long as you like, but it should be at least 300 words.
