Tuesday 3rd January Pass a Bill Project

Using the bill you wrote on December 22nd, you will define its path through Congress, beginning in the House.  You are the sponsor who begins the process.  Move it from hopper to President using real committees and chairs.  Use the website below to explore how some bills have fared in Congress.

For example, you can chart how HR 1343 got to the Senate or how HR 86 got buried in committee.

Use a poster to display how your bill will get through Congress.

  1. So, as it turns out, the sub cannot take us into the computer lab. As a result, we are currently incapable to do the assigned assignment. We hope you are enjoying your "me" time...and don't eat to many bon bons.

    Signed,
    the students you stranded, and who were subsequently exiled to Lecture Hall 1.

  2. Hey Mr. Blais there was a bit of confusion about what we were supposed to do today because our sub didn't give us any instructions and I just happened to check out the site when I found this info. Sorry, I'll tell the class that we should do this assigment for Tuesday's homework so we don't fall behind on the sched.
