When a change in the law is desired, whether at the community, state, or national level, people need to understand the processes of making that desired change, a bill, into a law. Submitting a bill for consideration by the legislature involves writing, revising and sharing bills with a focus on passing them in a Senate hearing.

In this lesson, students will brainstorm to identify changes they believe are important for improving their school community. They will read a Sample Bill, examine a Bill Writing Template, and begin drafting their own bills as the first step toward legislation that will change some aspect of their school community.

Standard(s):

D2.Civ.3.6-8

Objective(s):

• Brainstorm a list of changes they would like to see in their school community.
• Write a bill that could be passed through legislation.

As the time advances, certain things are constantly changing that created a gap between the generations. Generation gap is the noticeable divide between the younger people and their parents and grandparents. This gap results to difference in views regarding aspects in life - politics, customs, music and arts, values, education, technology, health and other facets.

Difference in outlook or mindset and the way we do things will definitely get us on each others' nerves. Speaking from experience, my mom and I would often fight about how they used to do things "back in the day" as opposed to what we know and do now.

Again, there's nothing wrong with following what the customs are but since millennials are proven to be more forward-thinking, they are prone to follow what they see and know for themselves through searching the web instead of believing what the elders say. It's not that they (we) don't want to listen entirely, it's just that professional opinion, research data, basis and tangible evidence are more convincing than something that a grandmother of someone else's grandmother said.
