If so, how effective was it? -Longer (takes some research) Paragraph 3- Implementation -How will you meet the objectives? -What is the cost? (taxes) -How will it be implemented? -Will it create new programs or jobs? -What are the positives and negatives? -Longest (takes some creativity)

“There ought to be a law…” Get into a group (Committees) of 4 and share out each of your ideas. Start thinking about which one is the best one which you think could pass the “Class Congress.” See handout about final bill for revisions & begin working on your bills as a group. Your group will make a decision on its best bill on Thursday. Remember - Your bill should be on a left-side page of your notebook when it is finished.
