Guide to Government Project - 5th Grade

The federal government of our country is hard to understand at times. Your task is to create a brochure to tell people about the three branches of government and how they interact with one another. This will help your friends and others understand what exactly the Constitution says.

Your brochure will have three panels on each side and must be organized as follows. It is up to you how you are to explain each branch. You must include the following information, but you can do it through words, charts, illustrations, or whatever you come up with. You will be graded on content, but you will be deducted up to 10 points if your project is not neat. This project does not have to be typed.

Legislative Branch (20 points) - Two Houses? - Terms? - Requirements to hold office? - How a bill becomes a law? - Checks and Balances?

Executive Branch (20 points) - Requirements for president? - Terms? - Cabinet? - Duties? - Checks and Balances?

Judicial Branch (20 points) - Requirements for office? - Terms? - Number of Justices? - Duties? - Checks and Balances?
