Interest Group Project Participation in Government Interest Group Project Interest groups play a very important part in American politics. They represent the wishes and interests of everyday citizens like you and me as well as large multi national corporations. Interest groups are effective because they can combine the motivation, energy and financial resources of many.
Interest groups perform various functions but most importantly they attempt to influence government.
The purpose of this project is to focus in on several interest groups so we can learn what they are, what they represent and how they operate. Prepare and deliver a 15 - 20 minute presentation on your interest group. It can go longer if you wish. Provide a handout for the class with facts and information about the interest group. This should not be the same thing you give me.
