Description of how to implement in the class: Students will analyze the different
steps in the law making process in Georgia by using Inspiration and the web/map
making tool. Students will make an individual map for each step (in the main bubble),
then students will identify the important parts of each step and organize them into
different bubbles that connect to the main one. This assignment will reinforce the
information that they have learned all while using a great productivity tool. Students
will then save their web and use as a study guide for their assessment on these
steps.
