Day 2

HOW CAN YOU USE SPATIAL DATA OR MAPS IN YOUR CLASSES? When studying the death penalty, students can poll community members to see who favor or opposes the use of death penalty. Students can then compare their data to national data and look for demographic trends. After that, students can examine international data trends on use of the death penalty. Students can then propose explanations of the data they uncover and respond to prompts like "Why is the United States the only nation in the Western Hemisphere that still uses the death penalty?"
