How a bill becomes a law

You're never too old for cartoons, especially educational ones. If you are not on an SBISD internet connection I suggest you go to youtube and look up the school house rock song, "I'm just a bill". (If you are on an SBISD computer, try teachertube) We watched "I'm just a bill" today to figure out the steps for how a bill becomes a law. If you were absent today, you need to go to the make up work tray and get the scrambled steps for how a bill becomes a law, cut them out and glue them to a piece of paper in the correct order.

Remember, the most important step in a bill becoming a law is when the bill is in committee. Go to http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/ to see the list of different committees and to see what they're up to.
