3. Toulmin. This type of argument is effective for modifying topics but
rather than present both sides, it presents one, hinging particularly on
facts presented in a way that makes the claim difficult to argue with.
In here, you must present your claim, present grounds to support the
claim, and then justify that the grounds are linked to the claim.
