Students create a poster representing their research. In their groups, students finish their posters for presentation at a later date. Individually, in a thought piece, students should draw upon their research and suggest their own reasons as to why the violent crime rate has increased nationally and propose a contemporary solution for reducing future incidents of violent crime. Support your answer with evidence. Students will be evaluated based on written journal entries, participation in class and group discussions and thoughtful participation in research and poster creation.
