Here it is also the format how the content needs to be with the format
An argument written in this manner unfolds to reveal both the strengths and limits of the argument. This is as it should be. No argument should pretend to be stronger than it is or apply further than it is meant to. The point here isn’t to “win” or “beat” all the counter arguments; the point is to come as close to the truth or as close to a realistic and feasible solution as we possibly can. Note that opening structure of “Data” leads to “Claim with qualifiers” is similar to the structure of a thesis in the form of an enthymeme, in which [one clause presenting a reason or evidence] leads to [another clause presenting an argument.]
Toulmin’s model reminds us that arguments are generally expressed with qualifiers and rebuttals rather than asserted as absolutes. This lets the reader know how to take the reasoning, how far it is meant to be applied, and how general it is meant to be. Here is an example from John Gage’s The Shape of Reason in which the various parts of an argument are labeled:
Congress should ban animal research (Claim #1) because animals are tortured in experiments that
have no necessary benefit for humans such as the testing of cosmetics (Data). The well being of
animals is more important than the profits of the cosmetics industry (Warrant). Only congress has the
authority to make such a law (Warrant) because the corporations can simply move from state to state
to avoid legal penalties (Backing). Of course, this ban should not apply to medical research (Qualifier). A
law to ban all research would go too far (Rebuttal). So, the law would probably (qualifier) have to be carefully written to define the kinds of research intended (claim #2).
The Toulmin model is useful for analyzing an argument you are reading. That was Toulmin’s original
purpose–the analysis of how arguments work. On the other hand, some students find it useful to use the
Toulmin model as a basis for structure and organization. We might organize our essay in the following
manner:
I. Introduction of the problem or topic.
A. Material to get the reader’s attention (a “hook”)
B. Introduce the problem or topic
C. Introduce our claim or thesis, perhaps with accompanying qualifiers that limit the scope of
the argument. (NB: This will help you cut the topic down to a manageable length.)
II. Offer data (reasons or evidence) to support the argument.
A. Datum #1
B. Datum #2
C. (and so on)
III. Explore warrants that show how the data logically is connected to the data
A. Warrant #1
B. Warrant #2
C. (and so on)
IV. Offer factual backing to show that logic used in the warrants is good in term of realism as well
as theory.
A. Backing for Warrant #1
B. Backing for Warrant #2
C. (and so on)
V. Discuss counter-arguments and provide rebuttal
A. Counter-argument #1
B. Rebuttal to counter-argument #1
C. Counter-argument #2
D. Rebuttal to counter-argument #2
E. (and so on)
VI. Conclusion
A. Implications of the argument, summation of points, or final evocative thought to ensure the
reader remembers the argument.

Here is my initial post for science topic and the and the professor’s comment
my post ” In this paper, I will be writing about the depletion of ozone layer due to air pollution and global warming. The depletion of ozone will increase the penetration of solar UV-B to our environment which is likely caused a profound impact on human and other habitants of our earth. Hence, in my writing I will explain the what is the depletion ozone and its impact and as well as the contributing factors for ozone depletion. ”
Here is his comment on my post
*************
“OK, but there’s not a lot to work with here. What is your counterclaim going to be? It also seems to be the case that air pollution is the cause of global warming and that ozone depletion is another symptom of this pollution, so air pollution seems to be the cause of both ozone depletion and global warming, we’re just looking at two different phenomena that are caused by the same things (although the chemicals causing the reactions could be different).”

so would you please choose appropriate title according to his comment in regard to ozone depletion or air pollution.
let me know if u have question as soon as possible please.
