Government

Students have been studying Congress–its powers, primary responsibilities, and the process through which a bill becomes a law. Although we had fun watching the School House Rock cartoon, “I’m Just a Bill,” students’ knowledge of this process now (thankfully) goes deeper than that two minute clip! Students also researched Congressmen and presented their findings about their backgrounds, political beliefs, and time served in office. We are concluding the unit by writing letters to our Representatives in Congress and City Council about local issues ranging from transportation to the police department.
