$$$ IS SPEECH
Citizens United v. FEC
Simulations
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Four simulations motivate students to research, analyze, and discuss issues related to campaign spending finance and influence over elected officials.
Becoming Congress, students write campaign finance legislation; in an election focused on the issue of money in politics, students role-play candidates, speech writers, pollsters, and the media; in moot court, students work through an appeal of the Citizens United case; and succinct but substantive preparation materials equip the class for an official tournament-style debate. Includes assessment rubrics and standards. Time: flexible.
