Note: Yes, you can absolutely bring in additional sources from your own reading! These sources do not count towards the 3 that are required, however. You must use at least 3 of the ones provided. Also, it's a great thing to bring in other examples to prove you point. Historical examples, personal experience, hypothetical situations, current events- these are all examples of evidence that can help you to craft an effective argument!
