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?
One claim that I would like to make is that invasive species can significantly alter ecosystems and threaten native biodiversity. To support this claim, I can collect evidence in various forms. Firstly, I can gather scientific research papers from reputable journals that document case studies and experiments on the impacts of invasive species on ecosystems. I can also look for data from governmental or environmental organizations that quantifies the economic and ecological damages caused by invasive species. Additionally, I can seek out firsthand accounts and observations from field experts, naturalists, and conservationists who have witnessed the effects of invasive species on native habitats and species.
