State Representative Lindsay Powell invited Shaler Area School District students to imagine a law that would help make their school, community, or state a better place for their generation and write an essay that describes the law and persuades their friends and community that their law is a good idea. Students had to consider potential stakeholders, the target audience( s) who would be impacted, and the capacities of state government.
