How a Bill Becomes a Law LITERACY · 8TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A bill starts as an idea, which anyone can suggest but only a member of Congress can introduce. It goes first to a committee, where most bills die quietly without ever reaching a vote — this is the stage that kills the largest number. If the committee approves it, the full chamber debates and votes, and then the other chamber repeats the whole process. Because the House and Senate rarely pass identical text, a conference committee reconciles the two versions and both chambers vote again on the result. The president may sign it, veto it, or let it become law without a signature after ten days; Congress can override a veto with two-thirds of both chambers, which is rare. Questions: 1 At which stage do the most bills die? 2 Why is a conference committee often needed? 3 What are the president's three options when a bill arrives? www.littleactivity.com 8th Grade · Literacy

Classifying Emotions LITERACY · KINDERGARTEN Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. Emotions are the feelings inside you, and giving them a name makes them easier to handle. Some feel good, like happy, proud, and excited. Some feel hard, like angry, worried, or disappointed. Hard feelings are not bad; everyone has them, and they usually pass. Being disappointed is different from being angry, and saying which one you feel helps other people help you.
