This week we are taking a break from Internet activities...kind of. You will be creating a visual display which proves to me you understand "How a Bill Becomes a Law". On the "Our Class" page, there are several links which will provide you with information on how a bill becomes a law in the American legislative system. Also, you can use your textbook or the poster in the classroom.
Possible Sites with Information:
Materials:
1)Construction Paper: any color; if you need paper I have a ton (hyperbole)
2) Any other supplies you want to use
Directions:
On this paper, you need to show through symbols, pictures, words, charts, or graphs (or in any other clever manner) how a bill becomes a law. Let your creativity guide you. You definitely need to show 1) all the steps a bill goes through to become a law and 2) all the ways that a bill can die (not be passed)
You will be graded out of 40 points in the following manner:
I. Demonstrates how bill becomes a law (15 points)
II. Demonstrates how bill dies (15 points)
III. Neatness (5 points)
IV. Creativity (5 points)
I want to be able to put these up throughout our room, so please take pride in your final project.
