Mock Government

Today we had two students represent a government for our class. They told us things we had to do, and we were supposed to do them. The class were a bit irritated when they were being told to "put their heads down" or "don't smile", so we chose two representatives to be the Supreme Court. The next rule was for chocolate bars to be given out, one per student, once a week. Some people really liked this idea, but one student brought forth the idea that this was not a healthy idea, and others agreed. We then discussed how the student had the right to disagree with her government's rule, and how the Supreme Court had the ability to decide whether the law could be allowed, or not. It was a very fun way to explore our government.
