Reflection On Congressional Simulation
Throughout the (last) week, we were assigned a congressional simulation. When we started the project, I had no clue what was going to happen. I understood the steps and roles in government, but I wasn’t sure how it was all going to play out with teenagers.
The first day, we were to write a letter to your Congressmen and Senators telling them what you want out of this piece of legislation. Such as specific wants, needs, or desires for the party. I was pretty basic on what I wanted, some chips and salsa (eventually the reason 5th hour got it as well), and some soda / water.
The second day, we were to create a bill for Mr. Garner’s 5th hour class. We were to make a budget, food and drinks that fit within that budget, also,as a Representative
