Today's Learning Goal: All students will understand how to become a United States citizen.
Task I: Last week we discussed what it means to be a citizen, the different levels of citizenship we hold (from our home to national level), and the rights and responsibilities one has as a US citizen. Today we will learn how someone BECOMES a Citizen!
We'll start class with the below video ("Becoming a U.S. Citizen: An Overview of the Naturalization Process") to give us a brief understanding of what this process is called and preview some of our vocabulary!

Task II: Time to Immigrate! Imagine…you weren't born in America… You were raised overseas in another country, with different rules, different responsibilities, and different rights. By the end of the activity, you will be able to tell me if you are a citizen, if you could become a citizen, the process in which you have to go to become a citizen and the rights and responsibilities you would have. You and your shoulder partner will be working together as you venture through this citizenship adventure! If you are looking for more information on the Naturalization interview and test, that can also be found on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, by clicking here! Your Mission Follow these simple instructions and you will help someone become a citizen today! Keep in mind... Believe it or not, it's already Week 3 of the school year, there will be points off for inability to follow direction.
