二 FACT CHECK
Before we get started on today’s
reading, I will show you a series of
true / false questions.
I need two volunteers to pass out T/F
cards. They are on the back table.
二 Fact check
10. As citizens we have both rights and responsibilities.
TRUEPass your T/F cards all the
way left and all the way back.
三 Citizenship: Just The Facts
As I read aloud, please read silently
along with me.
Be on the lookout for underlined words
that should be written into your notes.
Citizenship means to be a member of
a nation or country, and to have full rights
and responsibilities under the law. In the
United States there are three ways to
become a citizen: being born in the United
States, having parents who are citizens of
the United States, and going through a
process called naturalization.
(WRITE THE DEFINITION OF CITIZENSHIP IN THE CITIZENSHIP BOX)
(WRITE TWO OF THE FIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR NATURALIZATION IN THE NATURALIZATION BOX)
Naturalization is the process that
allows immigrants to become
citizens. Most people who
apply for citizenship fall into this
category: they are over 18 years old
and have been permanent residents of the
United States for 5 years.
(WRITE THREE OF THE FIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR NATURALIZATION IN THE NATURALIZATION BOX)
They must also have good character,
speak English, and pass a civics test and
an interview! The last step involves taking
an Oath of Allegiance to the United States
and our Constitution. There is one
shortcut! People who serve in the U.S.
military for at least one year can become
citizens sooner, because they have
demonstrated their commitment to
the United States.

(IN THE RIGHTS BOX,WRITE FIVE RIGHTS THAT A U.S. CITIZEN HAS)
In 1791, ten amendments, or changes,
were added to the Constitution. These are
called the Bill of Rights. They explain
some of the rights we enjoy here in the
United States, including freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the
press, protection under the law, access to
the judicial system, and more!
(IN THE RESPONSIBILITIES BOX, WRITE FIVE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT A U.S. CITIZEN HAS)
Along with all these freedoms come
some responsibilities, too. As citizens, we
are responsible for doing things like
serving on juries, obeying laws, tolerating
differences in those around us, and
participating in our government (like
VOTING)!
(NO INSTRUCTIONS HERE, SO SIT BACK AND LISTEN)
1791 was a long time ago and not
everyone was considered a citizen at that
time. When the Bill of Rights was added to
our constitution only “free white persons”
were considered citizens. In 1868, at the
end of the Civil War, another amendment
was added to the Constitution.
(NO INSTRUCTIONS HERE, SO SIT BACK AND LISTEN)
This 14th Amendment granted
citizenship to all people born in the United
States. Over the next 100 years,
citizenship was granted to Native
Americans and children born to American
parents outside the United States. In
1952, the U.S. Congress passed a law to
say that citizenship could not be denied
because of a person’s race or gender.
四 Is it in the Oath?You may work with one other
person. Seven of these answers are
required by the Oath of Allegiance. With
your partner, put an mark next to the
lines that show up in the Oath.
Put a star next to three lines you
would include if you were writing your
own Oath.
Work on the ‘fill in the blank’ section
when you have finished. You have 6
minutes.
