Objectives:  By the end of class today, you should…

1. Have a clear idea of what your assignments are and when they’re due
2. Have chosen a co-author for your legislation, and told Lori who it is
3. Have read carefully through all the resources in the packet I gave you
4. Have at least 5 ideas brainstormed with your partner for your legislation, and brief explanations of what each idea would fix
5. Have a list of research questions you and your partner need to answer to successfully write your bill.
6. Have two questions written for Senator Ellen Roberts (she'll be here tomorrow)

 
Authoring a Bill
Follow the steps in part 1.  I suggest that you take a look at the examples in the back of the packet I gave you before you start writing.
 
You will need to do additional research to successfully author a bill.  Now is the time to do that research, and figure out what, EXACTLY, you want in your bill.
 
USE THE RESOURCES in your packet!  They are there for you!  Please read them!
 
HOMEWORK:
Finish the daily objectives, if you didn't finish them in class.
