In today's learning session, we focus on the essential steps to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, including the naturalization test. Students must log in to the USCIS website to take the test, read pages 56-58, and complete the reading checks in their notebooks. Today's citizenship project is also due, requiring a creative collage representing American society. Remember to consider themes that reflect our culture, such as technology, fashion, and leisure. Review your understanding of the citizenship process, including age, residency, moral character, language skills, and knowledge of U.S. history and government.
