This resource is prepared with high school students in mind, but can be adapted for other age groups. We will feature one article for further study each month. Back issues, beginning in May 1997, contain this resource. Up until December 1998 it was called a teacher's guide or classroom resource. Teachers with access to computer labs should encourage students to access the article directly online.
Students have our permission to print out a copy of the article for classroom use.
We encourage you to subscribe to the print edition of St. Anthony Messenger , where you will see all of the graphics, and more articles that you might find useful on a variety of topics. Please see our links disclaimer located at the end of this document. To work on the understanding of the political process, you may wish to take on with your students an ambitious project with broad, even school-wide impact. If you can't pursue it this broadly, you can easily scale it back to a class or grade level. The author, John Bookser Feister, profiles real people involved in this issue.
