* NEW LESSON PLAN * THE SAGA OF THE MONEY TRAIL: DEVELOPING THE FEDERAL
BUDGET
During The Dirksen Congressional Center's annual Congress in the
ClassroomŪ workshop --
http://www.dirksencenter.org/print_programs_CongressClassroom.htm --
participants are asked to introduce the lesson plans, resources, and
techniques that have proven successful in teaching about Congress in
their classrooms. A 2005 participant, Lori Dumerer, R.L. Turner High
School, Carrollton, TX, presented a lesson entitled, "The Saga of the
Money Trail: Developing the Federal Budget."
In this lesson, students will trace the steps in the federal
budget-making process. They will recognize the complexity involved in
the budget process, including the competing demands for funds. Students
will all analyze how compromise leads to the final budget.
