Let's toss together a checkpoint piece full of made-up evidence.
Below is an ad about plastic pollution in the world's food chain. Support the ad with four pieces of made-up evidence, each of a different form:
- Stories of personal experience
- Recorded observations
- Numbers & statistics
- Studies
- Expert testimony
- Surveys
- Hypotheticals
- Accepted facts (from either history or science)
For this activity, none of the evidence needs to be real. Each piece just needs to exploit the strengths of its form (e.g. a story should be vivid & dramatic, observations should be precise & systematic, etc).
The pieces of evidence don't have to be linked! But make the form clear in each one.
