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 I would like to make is that reading books helps improve academic performance in school. To support this claim, I can collect evidence such as research studies that show a correlation between reading habits and grades, testimonies from students who have seen improvement in their grades after reading more, and data on reading levels and academic success. I can find this evidence by searching for academic journals, interviewing teachers and students, and analyzing school performance data.
