There are five key terms you are expected to use within the essay. (See below and refer to Chapter Two of Patterns of Argument.) ? Your ability to analyze your chosen multimodal argument using the Toulmin model of logic. There are three key terms required for Toulmin analysis.

Growing Trend School dropouts have become a trend, yet the education system and government are not taking the necessary actions. The cartoon mentions “Welcome to Truancy Prevention 101,” in which a person is supposed to give a lecture on truancy prevention or how to prevent school dropouts (Genevieve). However, the cartoon ironically shows that students have dropped out from the lecture and are least interested in knowing how to avoid truancy. So, the image is an eye-opener that provides the picture of the schools and the education system where truancy has become a trend.
