This document outlines instructions for a classroom activity called the "Big Paper Exercise" where students silently write comments and responses on large pieces of paper with prompts about government, politics, and policies. Students are asked to choose a paper, add their own comments, then freely move around to read and comment on other papers before returning to present their paper's discussion. The goal is for students to engage in a written conversation about different statements related to how individuals interact with and view government.
