* NEW LESSON PLAN * CREATING A METAPHOR FOR THE THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT    
   
During The Dirksen Center's annual Congress in the Classroom® 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    
past participant presented a lesson entitled, "Creating a Metaphor for the    
Three Branches of Government."    
   
Students will create a metaphor poster that completes this comparison: "The    
three branches of government under the Constitution are like a..."  They will    
also design and create an illustration for their metaphor, complete with a    
brief written explanation of why the metaphor is accurate.  Each group’s    
metaphor must have the features listed in the lesson plan.
