Slide2We will continue to learn about ourgovernment through two class activities: Three Branches of Government Web Quest Simulation Activity: How a Bill Becomes a Law You will draw various government jobs out of a hat You will work with the other people that are part of your branch We will start with the legislative branch. Here, they will go through the process of writing a bill. Next, the bill will go to the executive branch, where the president will veto or pass the law. Finally, an issue regarding the law will come up. The law will go to the Supreme Court and they will decide if it is constitutional. Each branch will be involved in the simulation activity.
