Although this legislative process lesson plan is designed to accompany a specific text, it is valuable independently. Young learners participate in a picture walk (worksheet included) through My Senator and Me: A Dog's-Eye View of Washington, D.C. During an interactive read-aloud, they examine how a bill becomes a law. They compare the story to what they find in their text, using a graphic organizer (included). Reading and writing activities offer deeper coverage.
