Each Cabinet Department has its own
web site which contains information about the department, its history,
the services it offers, and its mission statement. The links below take
you to the mission statement of each department.
Divide the class into teams of two and
assign each team a Cabinet Department to study. Start by studying the
mission statement of the department and that will help clarify what
the goals and roles of each department are. Student pairs will design
a project presentation to depict the information about their department
to meet the criteria on the next page.
