Teaching Tips – House Page

Pages in the House
Ask students to locate a highlight date pertaining to congressional Pages. Have students use the highlight and additional research if necessary to provide insight into the daily life (both ordinary and extraordinary) of congressional Pages.

Ten Questions
Have students select a highlight date which focuses on a person connected to the House (Speaker, Member, House Officer, Page, etc.). Compile 10 questions to ask this person concerning his/her career in the House. In pairs, have one student play the part of the interviewer, while the other is the interviewee. Conduct research to devise answers that would likely be made by the person being interviewed.
