Product Description for Mock Legislative Session Simulation- Write your own legislation Bill Fair!

Make civics exciting and practical for students using this Social Studies simulation emulating the Legislative Branch. This Legislative Branch Simulation has become one of the highlights in my government class. Students love the opportunity to write bills in hopes of influencing change in their state and local communities. Students chose to solve a state or local problem, research the problem, and work through a solution. But first: students will look at a sample bill and participate in a Readers Theater simulation of the process of each round: Opening Speech, Non-Debatable Technical Questions, Pro Debate, Con Debate, and Closing Speech. Students will then look at the prep sheets that align with the sample bills of how they can encourage debate by planting questions, pro debate, or con debate on the legislative floor. Each round should last about 60 seconds! You could even JUST use this part for the simulation and not do the Bill Fair portion where students write their own bill. It's just that detailed. Students then work through the worksheets that make it easy for the teacher- because they explain it all! Pick and chose which parts you want the students to do. Learning about the law-making process is good, but actively being engaged in the process is great!

- Detailed teacher directions: explaining how to run the simulation

OBJECTIVE:
o The learner will understand the difference between a graph and a chart and will be able to identify each.
o The learner will recognize 14 graphs and/or charts.
o The learner will interpret 14 graphs and/or charts.

MATERIALS:

o Reading Activity: (2 pages) Is it a Graph or Chart? (Included)
o 14 Graph & Map Stations (Included)
o List of graphs & charts (Included)
o Laminate- Laminate all 14 stations and list of graphs and charts for future use and

durability. o Blue painters tape to display stations on the wall throughout the

classroom
o Rulers for each station for students to use in reading the graphs.
o Student answer sheet, one per student or one per team to save paper and ink.

(Included)

o Exit Cards (Included)
o Timer to measure time at each station.

PREPARATION:

Laminate each station and the list of chart and graph names for each station. The list of chart and graph names will be used as a reference for students. Prepare each station with a ruler and any other supplies that may be needed.

INTRODUCTION:
Either show an introduction video (there are some suggestions below) or have students participate in the introduction activity.

PROCEDURE:
Reading Activity: Organize the class into teams of 2-4, at the teacher’s discretion. Have student groups read and discuss the student reading activity (2 pages included).

Carousel Activity: Student groups will rotate from one station to the next answering four (4) questions at each station and identifying each graph and/or chart. Based on the information provided in the reading on how to determine a graph and/or chart, students will identify each station as a graph or chart, how the data is being displayed, the name of the graph or chart, and provide an interpretation of each. Provide groups 3 minutes at each station; use a timer. You may cut down on the number of stations if- your class time is more limited. Students will work together to complete the questions for each station on their Student Answer Sheet. When the timer goes off, all groups will move on to the next station. Once the carousel activity is complete, display each chart and answer and discuss them together allowing students to correct their answers.

CLOSURE / EVALUATION:
Have students complete and submit an Exit Card

ENRICHMENT REVIEW ACTIVITY:

This bundle contains four teaching resources about the Victory Gardens in World War II. Each of these complement one another but can also be used independently.

PowerPoint Mini-Lesson - This mini-lesson contains eleven slides that provide a deeper look at the Victory Gardens planted during World War II in the United States. Use it to teach F2F or provide as an independent supplemental learning resource. The slides contain fascinating and engaging visuals including posters as well as instructions and text from actual pamphlets produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the war. Victory Gardens provided essential fruits and vegetables to American citizens. It was a wholly volunteer effort and involved youth through adults and became a very successful endeavor during a time of great need! This includes the PowerPoint version as the well as the PDF. In the free version, only the PDF is available.

Primary Source Analysis and DBQs - This 16 page primary source analysis activity gives students a chance to delve deeper into life on the home front in the United States. They will determine why the Victory Gardens were so important to the war effort. Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. Primary sources include pamphlet excerpts, photographs and posters. Each page of primary sources includes questions. Two DBQ prompts are also included. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source. An Answer Key to all the questions and the HAPPY process is available at the end of the packet. This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students.

Class Activities - There are two class activities available in this 9 page teaching resource. Your students will become immersed in the home front issues of World War II with these two activities.

Activity 1 - Create a Propaganda Poster related to Victory Gardens

Students will review posters from World War II and then create their own using similar elements to what was used then in terms of design, message and purpose.

Activity 2 - Participate in 5 Minute Simulations

Students will take on various roles in the effort to organize community Victory Gardens. They will have a chance to be a leader, community member, representative of the local Victory Garden Committee or a garden/hardware store owner.

Have students study the primary source documents from pamphlets published by the US Department of Agriculture as well as photographs from World War II to enhance their understanding prior to completing either activity.

Reading Assignment and Worksheet

As an alternative to presenting the Power Point Lesson, students can do close reading about Victory Gardens in World War II and then complete the worksheet.
