Goal for the day: To understand how to write a legislative bill
We’re starting the day with some fun examples (example one and example two) of bills just so we can learn the format of the bills that you’ll have to write. You’ll have the chance to quickly draft a bill in small groups. You'll get handout explaining the different parts of a bill. You should download this template to fill in with your bill ideas.
With this experience under our belt, we’ll then look at the formal Bill Writing Assignment and what you need to do in your specific role for the Senate. We’ll make sure you understand the deadlines coming up.
After break, we’ll finish laminating your senate cards and you’ll have the rest of the class to work on your bills with your co-author.
Homework due on Wednesday, December 3rd
