Congressional Committees
A Day - January 27th
B Day - January 30th


For today's lesson, we will be focusing in on Congressional Committees, which we discussed last class.

We will start by making connections to the previous lesson, before moving on to collect guided notes: guided note sheet and Prezi.

We will then discuss the relationship between Committee Assignment, power, and money.

Following our discussion, you will have the opportunity to conduct research on the Congressional Committee that most greatly affects your policy issue for your Issue Project. You will use this handout to collect your research.

Research Resources
Follow the steps below to aid you in your research.

Steps to follow in conducting your research:
  1. Google: " *your policy issue* and Congressional Committee"
  2. Sort through the results to find both a House Committee and Senate Committee that has worked on a bill related to your policy issue.
  3. Once you select a committee or a subcommittee related to your issue, research the committee to find out who the Chairperson is.
  4. Once you know the Chairperson, investigate them - what is there stance on your issue? How have they voted on related bills?
  5. Use what you find to inform how you think this committee chairperson will affect your decision.
