Mock Congress Reflection

I thought mock Congress was a great experience. I learned many things about our government, and I had fun while doing so. Mock congress was a new experience for everyone. It showed who could put up a good argument and who does a good job at doing research. This was one class activity that I would like to do again.
I was required to research the bill that involved a resolution to fund the arts and a bill to incentivize voting.

The only part that I did not like was that some people just sat and did not say anything. It is much more exciting if everyone participates. I thought that Kody Merrell did a great job participating. He asked me many questions that were difficult to answer and was able to answer my questions efficiently. I thought he was the best congressman. Kody put up a tough argument in mock congress.
Mock congress was a great experience. The only way that it could have been a little better was if everyone would follow the procedure better. It also could have been better if we possibly could have gotten through a few more bills. Other than that, mock congress was entertaining and enjoyable. I feel as if every student should have an opportunity to participate in a mock congress. I just think that it was such a wonderful experience and I would love to do it
