REGION 5 - We the People Competition (ONLY REGION 5)

Competition Overview

Students participate in a simulated congressional hearing as the culminating activity for the We the People program. The entire class, working in cooperative teams, prepares and presents statements before a panel of community representatives who act as congressional committee members. Students then answer questions posed by the committee members. The format provides students an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of constitutional principles while providing teachers with an excellent means of assessing performance.

The We the People Arizona Regional Competitions are available to all Arizona high schools and classrooms.
