Active Citizens 101 - National Service Inclusion Project

Procedure, cont.
• In each triad, supporters should present
their case first. Opponents should present
second. Each side will have two
minutes to make its presentation. The
member of Congress can interrupt to ask
questions, and may want to take notes.
Tip: Refer to the “Training Methods”
section of this guide-“Handling
Controversy” for some good
facilitator pointers to make this
lesson work effectively.
• After both sides present, all members of
Congress should regroup and discuss
the pro and con arguments made before
them and vote with a “majority rules” on
the term-limits amendment.
• Debrief the activity by asking whether
members believe that term limits will
strengthen or weaken the concept of
“consent of the governed.”
