Legislation Research Project
My instructional goal for this project
is for you to learn how to do some basic legislative research, by
doing some basic legislative research. I'm sure most of you have no
idea how to do that, so you will be guided step-by-step through this
project.
You will work alone or with one
partner on this short-term, major grade project. If you choose to work with a
partner, both partners will receive the same grade. So choose
wisely.
You will submit five documents for
grading purposes. [Click an image below to open the document.]

Step #2 |
Step #3 |
Step #4 |
Step #5 |
 |
An online form for Step #1
reporting with whom you are partnering, if you are, and what
bill you have chosen to base your research on.
|
|
|
A Microsoft Word document for Step
#2 reporting information about your bill.
|
|
|
A Microsoft Word document for Step
#3 reporting information about the House and Senate sponsors of
your chosen bill. |
|
|
A Microsoft Word document for Step
#4 reporting information about the interest groups that support
or oppose your chosen bill. |
|
|
A Microsoft Word document for Step
#5 reporting information about the orientation of one of the
interest groups you reported on in Step #4.
|
You will submit each document
electronically. You'll fill out the online form in step #1 then click on submit to send it. For the other
four documents you must open the document, fill it out on a
computer, save it,
then submit it in the appropriate drop box.
Each document will be worth 20 points.
If your reports are thorough, accurate, and submitted correctly and
on time you will receive full credit. Missed deadlines will incur a
10% deduction (2 points on an individual report) for one day late,
20% deduction for two days late, 30% reduction for three days late,
and after that they will be accepted for evaluation but not graded.
E-mail your questions to your teacher
at gnelson@kleinisd.net.
Of course you can call me at home at 281-251-1286, or ask questions
in class.
Good luck, everyone! I hope you enjoy
this project while learning something about legislative research.
