Working with the Bureaucracy Simulation...
Form a group of 3 and take one of the white forms from the stack.
Grant Applications
Each group will complete the "Educational Assistance Award" on behalf of their government teacher. Once you have completed this form, take it to Mr. Clark's room (123) for form verification, and he will then direct you to the next step in the process.

Activity #1: Iron Triangle Scenario
Check out this Scenario and as a class, we will construct the Iron Triangle. Next, I would like you to create your own Iron Triangle based off an event in your life that you are impacted by.
Activity #2:
The AP Government curriculum requires that students become familiar with seven of the agencies within the federal bureaucracy. This is great news! Instead of guessing which of the agencies might show up on the exam, we know which seven we need to understand. Below are six of the agencies; the seventh, the FEC, will be covered in our elections unit. For each of these agencies, identify the type of agency that it is, and the main job of the agency.
