HOW A BILL BECOMES A LAW
DVD
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
A very clear onscreen diagram helps a teen narrator explain the basic process of making a law: how a bill is conceived, moved through or killed in committee, amended by each house, reconciled for a vote, and sent out for the president's or governor's signature.
The basics are deepened by interviews with government insiders (a state senator, members of the U.S. Congress, lobbyists, a senatorial aide). Seriousness is leavened by on-the-street interviews with teens who candidly reveal both their knowledge and their misconceptions, and by humorous clips from old movies that add a comic touch.
