Question
Your teacher asks you to write a paper that supports a claim with evidence. In three to five sentences, describe one claim you would like to make and discuss different forms of evidence you can collect to support your claim. Where would you look for this evidence?(4 points)

Answer 1

One claim I would like to make is that urban sprawl is negatively impacting local wildlife populations. I can collect evidence to support this claim by conducting field studies to observe changes in wildlife habitats and populations, analyzing data on the encroachment of urban areas on natural habitats, and reviewing studies on the ecological effects of urbanization on wildlife. I can also gather evidence from aerial surveys, satellite imagery, and interviews with local wildlife experts. Additionally, I can look for evidence in scientific journals, environmental reports, and government documents related to land use and wildlife conservation efforts.
