Bill Summary & Party Platform

Bill Summary

Due:  Wednesday 12/5 8AM (emailed to Purther)

The bill summary is due by Wednesday at 8AM to Purther's email (one per group).  The bill summary is one page in length (don't use the back) and is divided into five parts with the following information.

The top heading (first part) should including:

Title:                                                      Funding:  (leave blank)          Bill #:  (what I put on the board)
Authors: (student names)

The body should be divided into four parts:

Problem
Solution (the bill)
Constituents (how this helps them)
Party (how this solution is liberal or conservative or why your party would accept it if not)

Party Platform on Thursday

All Democrats and Republicans will meet to present and discuss the 16 bills each party has so far.   Democrats will meet in the Andromeda suite and Republicans will meet in the Orion Suite. 

What to bring? 
  • Each group should be prepared to explain their problem, solution, and party perspective on their bill.  In addition to that, be prepared to answer questions (points of information and inquiry) about your bill from your party.  No time minimums.  This is NOT the 3-minute speech Ortega is having you do.  Ortega is having you work on a 3-minute speech for day 2 of the Model Assembly.   
  •  Robert Rules of Order handouts from Ogden
Speech Q & A
  • What speech do I need for the party platform?  Your group needs to present the problem, solution, and party perspective.   There are no time minimums or maximums for this speech.
  • What do I do with the party platform speech after Thursday?  You will revise it and make it a 1:00 minute speech for day 1 of the Model Assembly.  
  • What speech am I working on in Ortega's class?  You are working on the 3 minute structure debate speech, which is used on day 2 of the Model Assembly (and day 4 if the speech is still useful by then).

How is each person being assessed?


Grading Criteria
  • On time to meeting
  • Participation (Speaking)
  • Platform paperwork complete (done that day with the leadership of the chairs)
See the Party Platform contact on the website for more information.
