Project Description
There is a lot of backlash the government is facing especially as crime rates are increasing all over the country. One of the greatest problems of America today is gun violence. Gun violence is everywhere in the city, in stores ,in neighborhoods but unfortunately now in schools. Many blame the schools security but many blame the laws that aren’t being set in place to prevent this. I researched the steps that are being taken to prevent future violent acts against schools. I also researched the impact gun violence has on the increase in crime rates today. I take a look at other causes of gun violence and the affects that taking away guns would decrease danger or if there are other aspects to unsafe places that are being overlooked. The thinking skill of this project is contextualization.
History
For History I researched what the legislators were doing to reduce crime rates. I looked at the impact gun violence has on that crime rates and the steps that can be taken to reduce crime rates. I also researched about federalism ,10th amendment ,local,state and federal government to gain more knowledge and create a clearer direction for this project. With this I created a visual infographic.
English
For English my project was more focused on school shootings. I researched about the policies that are being made to protect students at school. Many schools practice intruder drills but regardless of those practices, it is no longer enough to protect students at school from gun violence. With this I created a argumentative essay. I also put together a website of all my information.
