To research this thesis, you could begin by finding a source to support the reason for "lower carbon footprint." Try searching the web or the library using keywords such as "tiny homes and carbon footprint" or "tiny homes and environment." Before you select your source, review the learning activityEvaluating Sources. Once you have selected your source, write a discussion of at least two well-developed paragraphs that follows these steps:

1. Include the revised version of your thesis statement for an argument for change in your community.
2. Tell us about the source you selected by summarizing the main point in a few sentences.
3. Using your own words rather than quoting from the source, explain how this source will help you support a reason in your thesis. Will the source help you appeal to your reader using one of the logical appeals?
4. Using criteria fromEvaluating Sources, evaluate the source. Explain why the source is appropriate for an academic essay.
5. Wrap up the narrative portion of your post with an open-ended question to foster conversation or help you figure out additional research opportunities.
6. Finally, review the academic references page citation for the source.

When responding to peers, share your thoughts on the evidence they selected. Does the source information provide convincing support for their thesis reason? Would a different type of support (using logos, ethos, or pathos) be more effective?
