To The Teacher:
Prepare an agenda for a Cabinet meeting. List on the agenda several current problems for a mock Cabinet to discuss. Assign roles to class members:
- President - to take charge of the meeting
- Cabinet members - to discuss the problems on the agenda
(EXAMPLE: If one of your problems is concerned with education and schools, select a student to serve as Secretary of Education. You will probably not have a full Cabinet of 14 - just those who would be necessary to deal with the problems on your agenda.)
- Give the "Cabinet members" their problems 3 or 4 days ahead of time for preparation.
The assignment will be?

Present to the President and to the Cabinet your solutions for this problem.
