We all have a rough idea of what MPs are and what they do ... but what exactly does their job involve, and how do you become an MP?!


You will find below a simple explanation of what an MP is from the Wiki, plus further sample resources to help you investigate the role of MPs.


Your task today is to:

1. in small groups answer one or more of the following question
2. Your answer must be clear and in your own words, not just copy/pasted.
3. Start your answer by copy/pasting in the question!
4. Where you have used any direct quotes from a website use "", and put the URL (www...) in brackets like this (SOURCE: www.url.com)
5. Highlight any terminology you've come across in a list at the bottom of your answer
6. There is likely to be overlap between some answers!
7. share your answers electronically with 1 or more groups, and electronically share any answers they have
8. ...until you've got answers to all the questions!
