Parents Comment Sheet

Dear Parents,
I believe that one way to tell if a child understands something is to have them teach what they have learned. For this
assignment, I am asking that your child teach you what they have learned about how a bill becomes a law. Please
listen as your child uses his/her flowchart to teach you this process. Please comment on how well you believe your
child understands how a bill becomes a law and write down any questions that you feel they might still have.
Thank you,
Mrs. Doe
