• Assembling Your Argument

  • Warrants are the way in which you link evidence to conclusions.
  • Broadly speaking, warrant refers to the explanation of your reasoning.
  • Even though you will not state every warrant openly, you need to make sure that they all hold up under questioning.
  • You should also have an idea of what parts of your argument are complex or important enough that your warrants will need to be stated explicitly.
  • It's fine to add evidence or modify warrants and conclusions later, but the more you change the more you risk presenting your reader with a sloppy argument.
