* NEW LESSON PLAN * KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
During our annual Congress in the Classroom® workshop –– http://www.dirksencenter.org/print_programs_CongressClassroom.htm –– participants are asked to introduce the lesson plans, resources, and techniques that have proven successful in teaching about Congress in their classrooms. A 2005 participant, Pat Usher, Carl Sandburg High School, Orland Park, IL, presented a lesson entitled, Knowledge is Power.
This activity kicks off a mock Congress activity by forming committees and demonstrating the importance of knowledge as power. Students will be introduced to the concept of “seniority,” too.
