About Me

Hi there! My name is Jada and I am from Grants Pass, Oregon. I am majoring in BioHealth sciences with a pre-pharmacy option. The ultimate goal is to get my pharmaceutical degree and then work as a pharmacist. I am also on the Oregon State track team where I run the short sprints. 

Social media is my primary way of communicating online. I mostly use Snapchat and Instagram, and am shamelessly addicted to TikTok. I use these platforms because they are entertaining while keeping me updated on what is occurring in the lives of my friends. I am excited to learn more about communicating online because of how the internet has influence society and my generation in particular!

  The Toulmin Method According to page 318 of our class textbook Communicating Online, the Toulmin Method is a form of argumentation that divides an argument into six basic elements: claims, reasons, evidence, warrants, qualifiers, and rebuttals.   (our book did not include grounds or backing, but coincide with reasons) The Toulmin Method Online The Toulmin Method is found in more places that you would think. Any educated argument has some, if not all, elements of the Toulmin Method. An online example I found is an article called  Yes, You Should Wear a Mask. Here’s How and Why .

It includes all six elements of the Toulmin Method as shown below: Claim : You should wear a mask during the pandemic. Reason : Properly wearing a mask or cloth face covering can help keep you safe while navigating the COVI...
