Make it a Law - Lesson 1

Students participate in a simulation of the process a bill goes through to become law by role-playing. They evaluate the logical flow of this process through the role-play activity and discuss its application to programming.  This is the first lesson in a 3-part integrated civics and computer science mini-unit.
