* NEW * Dirksen Center Special Projects

Over the years, The Dirksen Center has developed a series of multi-media
projects rich in Web-based resources on a variety of topics from civil rights to
editorial cartoons.  We have posted them where it makes sense within our Web
suite.  But as the suite has grown, we suspect it has become more difficult to
find these special projects.

To make them stand out, we have created this Dirksen Center Project web site to
host links to all our special projects.  Find The Dirksen Center Projects Web
site at: http://www.dirksencenterprojects.org/

* NEW * TheCongressBlog: News About Congress for Teachers and Students

We at The Dirksen Congressional Center look forward to entering the blogosphere
world.  TheCongressBlog presents information about the House and the Senate,
both current news and historical tidbits.  We compile information from major
newspapers, political blogs, and the official sites of the U.S. House and
Senate.  This is our first blog, so think of it as a work in progress.

* Online Course: Congress in the Classroom Online *

September 12, 2007, marked the official debut of The Dirksen Congressional
Center's new online version of Congress in the Classroom® -
http://moodle.congressclass.org - an award-winning course for teachers. This
improved version of the course uses a more interactive approach, featuring many
options to engage you (and the instructor) in the course materials.

Congress in the Classroom® Online will help you understand today's Congress and
suggest ways to teach about it. The self-paced online course is organized around
the twin responsibilities of Congress members: representation and lawmaking.
There are twenty individual units on such topics as "What Makes for Effective
Members of Congress?" "How Representative is the Membership of Congress?" and
"Lawmaking: Understanding the Basics."

Do you teach social studies, American government, American history, or civics?
Are your lessons about the U.S. Congress out of date? Is it hard to engage your
students in learning about the House and Senate? If you answered "yes" to any of
these questions, then Congress in the Classroom® Online is the course for you!

If you need help or have any questions about getting into the course, please
contact one of the following:

Instructor: Frank Mackaman fmackaman@...

Moodle Admin: Cindy Koeppel ckoeppel@... or
moodle@...

Since the debut of the course, we have 662 participants and the list is growing
daily.  We welcome you to take a look - http://moodle.congressclass.org!

* NEW LESSON PLAN * Elect me! Creating a Campaign Platform and Advertisement

During The Dirksen Congressional Center's annual Congress in the Classroom®
workshop - http://www.dirksencenter.org/print_programs_CongressClassroom.htm -
participants are asked to introduce the lesson plans, resources, and techniques
that have proven successful in teaching about Congress in their classrooms. A
2008 participant, Jan Loyd, Cabot Junior High South, Cabot, AR, presented a
lesson entitled, "Elect Me! Creating a Campaign Platform and Advertisement."

Students will be a candidate for an election as a United States Representative
or Senator in the upcoming election. They will need to decide which party fits
their political views best. Next, they will plan and present a 3-5 minute
campaign commercial about them as a candidate, their platform, and why the
voters should vote for them.

Questions students should be able to answer prior to creating their campaign
commercials:

1. Which office are they running for and why?
2. Which party fits their political views the best?
3. Which platform and plank?
4. Why are they better than other candidates?
5. Which type of voter are they appealing to?
6. How are they going to attract the voters’ attention?
7. Which propaganda method will they use and why?

* NEW LESSON PLAN * THE SAGA OF THE MONEY TRAIL: DEVELOPING THE FEDERAL BUDGET

During The Dirksen Congressional Center's annual Congress in the Classroom®
workshop -- http://www.dirksencenter.org/print_programs_CongressClassroom.htm --
participants are asked to introduce the lesson plans, resources, and techniques
that have proven successful in teaching about Congress in their classrooms.  A
2005 participant, Lori Dumerer, R.L. Turner High School, Carrollton, TX,
presented a lesson entitled, "The Saga of the Money Trail: Developing the
Federal Budget."

In this lesson, students will trace the steps in the federal budget-making
process.  They will recognize the complexity involved in the budget process,
including the competing demands for funds.  Students will all analyze how
compromise leads to the final budget.

Find "The Saga of the Money Trail: Developing the Federal Budget" at:

The Dirksen Congressional Center of Pekin, Il --
http://www.dirksencongressionalcenter.org --  has partnered with Federal
Network, Inc. of Washington, DC -- http://www.fednet.net/  -- to develop a
website geared to secondary teachers of Government and Social Studies. Our
initial idea is this: the teacher in the classroom, when teaching concepts and
terms relevant to the legislative branch, will be able to show sample footage
from the House and Senate organized in a glossary format. If, for example, you
are teaching about a filibuster, you will be able to click on "filibuster" and
see digitized video of senators filibustering.

We are very excited by the prospects for this cutting-edge offering. In order to
make this conceptual product a success, we seek your feedback and commentary.
The product is for teachers, so we appreciate your thoughtful input. The survey
will take less than five minutes to complete.

Thank you for participating. Your feedback is important.
