Senate Committee Activity

Today's objective is to understand what a senate committee is, what different committees there are, and to examine current activities of a US Senate Committee.
1. Go to Senate.gov
2. Go to the committee section. Look through the various committees. Find one that looks like it will be of interest to you. Then do the following:
Create a power point (using google docs).
The power point should contain the following:
1. Name of the committee or sub committee.
2. Explain in detail the function of the committee?( what does it have jurisdiction over?)
3. Who is the chairman of the committee?
4. Explain in detail a current piece of legislation that is in (or just came out of) the committee.
5. Make the powerpoint attractive and interesting. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE ANYTHING OTHER THAN PICTURES. Summarize everything else
