Project Directions Once you have done your research you are to create a Google Slide Presentation and be able to present it to your class. Make Sure You CITE where you found ALL your information. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE! Your Slides must have the following: 1. Title Page 2. What are the arguments gun control advocates use to make a case for stricter gun laws by state? 3.

What’s the gun death rate and total number of gun deaths in Illinois and the City of Chicago ? Is that higher or lower than you expected? How does it compare to rates in neighboring states? 11. Identify two states with very different gun control grades (i. e. : an A- and an F). 12.
