8th Grade - Your Own Research

Now that you have read about and discussed issues surrounding unequal protection during the COVID-19 pandemic, you will do a little independent research to gather data.

WORK:

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH on data that highlights the unequal protection that is experienced by different groups of people in America. Below are a few that you might want to take a look at. Keep track of the information you read by writing down all of the statistics that you find interesting and save all of the graphs that you would like to look at more closely. Be sure to keep a record of all the sources you pull from so that you can revisit the site when needed.
