Toulmin Argument

Students should not take 8 am classes.

Research from the National Sleep Foundation shows that teenagers' levels of melatonin (a hormone that promotes sleep) don't begin dropping until after 8 am on average.

Warrant:
Students who are more alert will be able to learn more and perform better in classes.

Qualifier:
Usually

Rebuttal:
Unless they enjoy waking up early

Backing:
Experience shows that it is easier to pay attention in classes later in the day.
