3. What evidence is each person going to give? For example if you say Adelaide South Australia is called the City of Churches – your evidence may be telling how many of these structures there are, or it may be based on early European settlement beliefs etc. (your references will prove your evidence). Statistics – photos, objects are good evidence tools
