Gang Research

Now that you have read "The Outsiders" you will have the opportunity to do some research to find out about gangs in Canada. There are many topics that you are interested in so we have given one main topic to each person. All of your questions have been assigned to people according to the topics they fit into. Hopefully while you are researching your main topic (the one in the heading) you might come across the answers to the questions asked by your classmates. The class questions are below at the bottom of the page.
You need to open up a Word document and start recording your notes for your topic. When you have enough information you will then create a teaching page with text features  that shares the information easily and is a quick read. Once your teaching page is finished you will need to email me the page.  I will then link it to your name below so everyone will be able to see it and take notes from your research to prepare for the Gang test.

These are the websites that you can use for researching:
