how bill becomes law

  • “If I had an hour to solve a problem I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.”
    [A. Einstein]

      

    Here you will find all the materials needed for your Law Project.

    The Fall 2019 semester Law Project is due on Tuesday, December 17, 2019.
    We will be in the computer lab December 9-13, and Dec 16.

     

  • ***If you are having trouble finding a topic/issue or are having difficulty with finding basic information and/or arguments for a particular topic, try checking out my "Public Policy Ideas & Help" page -- you can find it on the left of this page***

  • When finished, you should turn in these 5 components of the law project:


    1. Your proposed law/Bill,


    2. Your persuasive essay,


    3. A completed Public Policy worksheet on your specific issue, and


    4. A 'Works Cited' page listing all sources of information (minimum of 5 for full credit), and


    5. The blank scoring rubric.

  • >>> Class participation during the project will be assessed according to students being "on-task" each day. On-Task is demonstrated by:

    • Working on the project in the computer lab,

    • Helping others in the lab (if you've finished already),

    • paying attention during the legislative session, 

    • verbally participating in debates on each student's Bill, and

    • voting on the proposed law (the Bill).
