D#6, HW#5, Evidence

For my research paper, I will be using firsthand evidence (observation, interviews, personal experience) and secondhand evidence (online materials, books, journals, libraries). I will use firsthand evidence because it is more real and it shows that I am involved and care about my topic. I will use secondhand evidence for the hard facts and statistics. Some people may not believe what I say happened, but may believe the hard facts. I have a few people in mind that I would like to interview that I know personally. Hopefully talking to these people can lead me to other people that I can interview that I don't know as well. I know I want to interview a child, someone who was hit with poverty out of nowhere, someone who has been living in poverty for a long time, and I want to get several different opinions of people who are not in poverty. The secondhand evidence will come from various libraries and reliable websites.

Your interviews will be a great asset to your paper and not that many people are going to use an interview. It will give your paper a new perspective. good job
