Designed as a hands-on simulation, Mock Congress Workbook: Simulating the House of Representatives brings to life the roles and responsibilities of congress members and those with whom they work. Its in-class exercises model the legislative branch of the government and address leadership positions and responsibilities, the committee system, floor debate, and interactions with witnesses and lobbyists.
