THE MODEL CONGRESS The Model Congress is a simulation which offers an opportunity to learn by role playing the difficult task of developing national policy and writing laws. Each evening, students divide into several committees to discuss and draft legislation. On the final evening, completed legislation is reported, debated and voted upon in a special session held in a Congressional committee room on Capitol Hill. Debate, which is governed by modified House procedures and rules, is always highly spirited, thought provoking and very enjoyable. The simulation gives students a firsthand experience of the challenges and rewards of the role of our legislative branch. |
