In previous classes, we watched videos, read about, and discussed the components of the modern immigration process to the United States. A reoccurring question was, "What does an immigration test look like"?  This question, coupled with the consensus that people trying to become a citizen should be required to take a test. So, would you be able to pass the citizenship test? How well do you know your government? 

Your task: Complete the handout given to you. There are twenty of the 100 potential citizenship questions one could be asked. Independently and without the help out outside resources, answer the twenty questions. We will review the answers as a class. Use the honor system to grade yourself. 

Reflect & Discuss: How did you do? Would you pass a citizenship test? Which question did you find to be the most challenging? Do you believe it is important to understand civics and U.S. History- explain. Should immigrants know more about the government than some American citizens? Why/ why not? 

Recently, you have learned about the modern day immigration process. Over the next few days, we are going back in time to the turn of the 20th century to visit Ellis Island. You will be reflecting and understanding on who came to America through immigration ports and the journeys they went on.
