Citizenship Test and Formative Reading

Sorry I had to be out today - welcome Ms. Natheos! 

Goal: Take citizenship test and finish Formative reading

Agenda: 
Journal
Rights and Responsibilities Article
Citizenship Test
Formative Reading
Catch Up

1. Journal 
Is there any valid way to "test" for citizenship? Explain your reasoning.

2. Rights and Responsibilities of a US Citizen 
  • There is an article Ms. Natheos will give you called "Rights and Responsibilities of a US Citizen."
  • There are 7 rights and 9 responsibilities mentioned in the article. 
  • List all of them in a table in your journal that looks like this:

3. Citizenship Test
  • The Citizenship test has been around since 1986 but last revised in 2008.
  • I'm going to give you a copy of a SAMPLE of test questions (not all 100), and try to answer as best as you can.
  • This is not for a grade, but we are going to discuss it tomorrow so I want accurate results.
  • Do not work with each other! Just do your best!

4. Formative Reading 
  • Last week I gave you a reading on Formative to answer 14 questions about regarding the Checks and Balances and Three Branches of Government. 
  • Those questions are going into Powerschool today, so you should be finished with that reading.


5. Finished with everything else? 
Reminders: 
Have a great day!

I'll be back tomorrow - get ready to discuss the citizenship test and voting rights.
