In this five week flex course, students will grow in their understanding of the legislative branch of government in the United States. Students will learn how our legislative branch came to be in the Constitution by examining the Great Compromise at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. We will explore the purpose, characteristics, and powers of the legislative branch. Lecture videos utilizing power point slides will be posted weekly for students to view. Some lectures will have worksheet study guides to fill in, and some will require learners to practice note taking skills. Students will receive outside homework and quizzes via the class discussion stream to help reinforce class lessons and solidify the information they are learning. An end of session evaluation will be provided to parents for your student's portfolio/records. Students will be asked to contribute to thought discussions posted in the classroom twice a week. This dialogue will allow students the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills as they work on articulating views and listening to the ideas and opinions of others. Students will engage collectively in the bill making process of the legislative branch by presenting a bill of their own creation and inspiration to the class. Students will engage in examining one another's bills, debating them, adding amendments to them, and then voting on them. Session 1 - The Great Compromise: How the legislative branch under the Constitution came to be Characteristics of the Congress Session 2 - Constitutional Powers of the Legislative Branch Session 3 - Methods of Representation and Functions of Congress Session 4 - The Law Making Process Session 5 - Congressional Leadership Students should have the ability to do basic writing in order to take notes and do the in class worksheets. The age range for this class is 14-18 year olds and is best geared towards high school age students. Students are highly encouraged to continue on to United States Government - Session 3.
