House Floor Simulation

" We enter mortality not to float with the moving currents of life but with the POWER to think, to reason, and to achieve."  Thomas S. Monson


 We learn from each other!

     Our Scholars  wrote their own bills and debated them in our simulated House Floor Proceedings. The Honorable Nellie Hill was designated speaker of the House pro tempore for the day with Courtney Davies as House reading clerk.  Our representatives wrote and presented their own legislation then The Floor was opened to 1 minute speeches/ debates. The most popular topics:  Cat overpopulation in Texas, mandatory chocolate in schools, and gun control.



                                                                 

We discussed the genius of the men
who created the Constitution  of
the United States.
