*Explain why one type of crime decreased as another

*The drug-related crime rate for juveniles has increased in
Nelson County over the past decade. In order to decrease the
crime rate a written proposal will be developed by students to
raise awareness for this issue, as well as helping encourage
other local members to attend.
*In the written proposal elements need to included such as, the
hours in which the curfew will be in effect, the types of
penalties if caught out past curfew for the juvenile and the
adult. Exemptions for curfew include the following: after-
school curricular events, work-related, and accompanied by a
guardian.
*After researching the various statistics regarding the Juvenile
Crime rate, create a glog for their proposal illustrating key
components of their written proposal. Key components of this
blog consist of identifying whether or not they want a curfew,

*In order to determine the necessity for a curfew, compare
statistical data for the studies listed in 2.3 on Classifying.
Students need to compare what the crime rate statistics were
like before a curfew was implemented vs after the
implementation in order to determine if creating a curfew will
truly help in solving this problem.

debate on whether or not organic food is better for people and
the environment. Use the USDA’s criteria for organic food
classification as a basis for your response. Give your personal
conclusion and justification.)

6. Create: Put elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganize elements into a new
pattern or structure

6.1 Generating Generating original, alternative hypotheses based on criteria
(Hypothesizing) (e.g., Generate as many original hypotheses as you can to
explain why some businesses might not have been a success
in our town; Generate original hypotheses to account for an
observed phenomenon)
6.2 Planning Designing original detailed procedure for accomplishing
(Designing) some task (e.g., Submit an original business plan for your
proposed business including cover sheet, table of contents,
executive summary, business context, business profile,
marketing analysis, challenges and responses, marketing
plan, financials, time table, summary of needed capital.)
6.3 Producing Inventing an original product (e.g., Build an original habitat
(Constructing) for an original animal you created.)
*Hypothesize why the juvenile crime rate is up. Students will
need to examine factors such as socioeconomic status, family
dynamics, and social environmental factors.
*Design an alternative to a proposed curfew. In your
alternative provide the type of alterative “activity,” benefits of
alternatives, and resources needed to implement the
alternative.
*Using mycreateshop students will create their own brochure
to present to City Council promoting the need for a curfew.
Students need to use statistics and facts gathered from
previous activities to help aid them in their endeavor.
