Deadline #6 HW #5 Evidence

The type of evidence I plan on using for WP #3 are observations, personal experiences, library sources, and online sources. I will also like to try for an interview, depending on time constraints. This evidence will be important for my WP #3 because it will give credible information and back up my arguments and claims. I will try to get an observation of an animal-rights activists protest event. I will look in the newspaper and websites to see when the next event will be coming. I will take notes about the content of the event and messages they stress about. I will also learn more about my opponent for my argument. This observation will be a key in my paper because it will show the other side of my argument, which I can rebuttal. Personal experiences I will use will be past hunting trips. During these hunting trips, I have had confrontations will animal-rights activists. I was in the middle of the woods getting harassed by these people with their yelling and banging of their pots and pans. My personal experiences will be a great asset to my paper because it will show they fight between hunters and animal-rights activists. My library and online sources will include articles from newspapers and magazines, and books. I will retrieve these sources from the Mesa Community College Library databases. These sources will give me information I can use to strengthen my claims for my argument. I will also try to get an interview as well. I hope I can interview a game warden. I will contact the Arizona Game and Fish Department and try to schedule an interview with a game warden who has the time to do it. I will most likely perform an interview at the game warden's office. The interview will give me hard evidence because that person is an expert in this field. His/Her information will be knowledgeable and credible. My whole argument evolves around evidence, and I believe I have the information needed to be my evidence.
