Congressional Homework: Windowpanes
What did you think of our congressional simulation? Have your opinions about Congress changed?
Here is a summary of your homework due next class. Take some time to make this nice – I’d like to show them off to people around the classroom/school/district.
In each box, illustrate the answer using as few words as possible. Make sure that the average person can understand your drawing (without you there to explain it!) Try to put all of the complexity you would put into your writing into your drawings.
Divide your paper into six equally sized boxes and fill them in with graphic illustrations as follows in the table below:
|
YOU |
The issue you care most about |
| The BEST thing about Congress | The WORST thing about Congress |
| The greatest problem facing the United States | What should be done about the greatest problem facing the United States |
Remember, the issue you care most about may actually not the the greatest problem facing the United States right now! Take some time with this fun assignment – don’t slack on it – and you’ll enjoy it.
