* NEW LESSON PLAN *

MOCK SENATE SIMULATION

During our 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
2003 participant, Martha McIntosh, Dana Hills High School, Dana Point CA,
presented a lesson entitled, "Mock Senate Simulation."

This lesson will provide students with an opportunity to research a particular
senator and write a bill.  They also will select party leaders and learn to
strategize in a party caucus.  Students will work in a committee, practice
reciprocity, and conduct mark-up negotiations.  They will learn parliamentary
procedure and special Senate rules.  Legislative lingo will also be introduced. 
They will participate in a mock Senate activity where they will assume the
identity of their researched senator and use persuasive skills to pass their
bill.  They will also formally oppose one bill during floor debate.  Finally,
they will participate in one filibuster, invoke cloture, and attempt a discharge
petition.
