Write to Your Legislator

While students are studying the various levels and branches of government, they will look at the powers of each level of government.   Students will select a problem to write about.  They will decide whether this problem is best dealt with by the federal, state, or local government. They will research this problem and determine which legislator would be in the best position to solve it.  They will then write a letter to that person explaining the problem and suggesting a solution.
