From August 15, 2016 to June 1, 2017 I taught a Citizenship class at Milpitas Adult School. We used a combination of resources from USCIS and SI.edu, textbooks such as "Voices of Freedom" and Lynn Weintraub's "Citizenship:Ready for the Interview," and many uscitizenpod's pdfs, mp3s, and videos. See the 2016-2017 Citizenship Classes for each class lesson plan and resource.
From July 5-July 21, 2017, I taught a combined ESL 2 and 3 class at Milpitas Adult School. We took this opportunity to study ESL/Citizenship and read "Holding the Bag," an ESL novel set in Washington DC that had many links to study for the Citizenship interview. After the class ended, we continued to post EdPuzzles of the VOA Learning English Presidents videos. On August 21, 2017, we started the new school year. ESL 1 students will continue to study a little citizenship every day. For more info, see: Beginning Level Citizenship Classes

STUDY UP for the USCIS Civics and History with these resources from USCIS and the Smithsonian American History Museum.
To help programs and educators develop high quality citizenship instruction courses, USCIS has created a series of products to provide support at every stage of course development. The Guide to the Adult Citizenship Education Content Standards and Foundation Skills, The Sample Citizenship Curriculum for an Adult Low Beginning ESL Level Course, and the USCIS Civics Lesson Plans cover subjects ranging from naturalization eligibility requirements to the naturalization interview and test.
