Introduction to Civics/What It Means to Be a Citizen of This Great Country!

I will be teaching an introductory class in civics.  I will teach the rights and responsibilities of citizenship along with how the naturalization process works for non-citizens.  I will also teach the benefits of citizenship and the ways a person can lose their citizenship.  This is just an introductory class, so we won't get into the Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights, and The Constitution until the full class begins.  My class is structured as follows:  I'll do a short lesson, then have a q and a session with the students followed by a wrap-up of the material.  My teaching style utilizes lectures, q and a sessions, and plenty of visuals for the students to see to help them understand the material better.  I will introduce the vocabulary needed for the lesson with the requirement that the students start a vocabulary notebook. I will show video clips and introduce the students to the ICIVICS game/learning platform. There are also some fun little songs that will help the students learn the material. The only thing required for this class as far as experience goes is a student who is at least age 11, and who has a willingness to learn about this very important subject!
