Making the Government work

How does a government solve problems?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           
 
 Step 1: Structuring the Government

Every country has its own style of government.  It will be up to you to decide what the parts of your government will be and what they will do.

 

A. Explore the branches of government of the United States and of Brownville on the resources on your right

 

B. Talk to your classmates and decide what you would like to be the branches of your government will be and what they will do.

 

C. On your Government page add the  branches of your government and what they each do.  

 

------In every country, each branch of government has their own building where they work.  Look at the resource on the right to see buildings for branches of countries around the world-------------

 

D. If you do not have a Tinkercad account create one.  On Tinkercad, crate a building for each of your branches on the same file.

 

E. Show your building design to your teacher.  Print out your building.

 

F. Why is it important to have different branches with different powers?  

-Why are the powers separated?

-How does it also make sure that the citizen's needs are met?  

Think about this answer and write it on your Government page .

 Step 2: Crisis Within (No Checklist needed for this step)

Every government makes money by collecting taxes.  You are going to collect your taxes from Ms. Brown to use to pay for some of your country's expenses.  

 

1. Ask Ms. Brown for your tax money

 

But then this happened...............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You need to find out what is happening and stop the rebellion.  You will have to use your money along the way.  You must work quickly to find the rebel leader and stop the rebellion before you run out of money.  If you run out of money before you stop the rebellion, your country will go bankrupt!!!

 

To play

1st. Choose a name for your law enforcement agency, put the name of the agency and which branch is in charge on your Government page,  choose someone in your group who will be the leader of the law enfocement agency, and pay the agency some of your tax money.

 

2. Follow the clues to try to capture the person.  The government, however, has many jobs to do.  Therefore, every 15 minutes draw a chance card.
